Apomixis technology development-virgin births in farmers' fields?

Nature biotechnology - 1 Jun 2004

Spillane Charles, Curtis Mark D, Grossniklaus Ueli

Abstract excerpt

Apomixis is the process of asexual reproduction through seed, in the absence of meiosis and fertilization, generating clonal progeny of maternal origin. Major benefits to agriculture could result from harnessing apomixis in crop plants. Although >400 apomictic plant species are known, apomixis is rare among crop plants, and the transfer of apomixis to crop varieties by conventional breeding has been largely...
