Sexual and apomictic plant reproduction in the genomics era: exploring the mechanisms potentially useful in crop plants.

Abstract excerpt

Arabidopsis, Mimulus and tomato have emerged as model plants in researching genetic and molecular basis of differences in mating systems. Variations in floral traits and loss of self-incompatibility have been associated with mating system differences in crops. Genomics research has advanced considerably, both in model and crop plants, which may provide opportunities to modify breeding systems as evidenced in...
