Abstract excerpt
The introduction of apomixis - seed formation without fertilization - into crop plants is a long-held goal of breeding research, since it would allow for the ready fixation of heterozygosity. The genetic basis of apomixis, whether of the aposporous or the diplosporous type, is still only poorly understood. Hypericum perforatum (St John's wort), a plant with a small genome and a short generation time, can be...
