Inactivation of a DNA methylation pathway in maize reproductive organs results in apomixis-like phenotypes.

The Plant cell - 1 Oct 2010

Garcia-Aguilar Marcelina, Michaud Caroline, Leblanc Olivier, Grimanelli Daniel

Abstract excerpt

Apomictic plants reproduce asexually through seeds by avoiding both meiosis and fertilization. Although apomixis is genetically regulated, its core genetic component(s) has not been determined yet. Using profiling experiments comparing sexual development in maize (Zea mays) to apomixis in maize-Tripsacum hybrids, we identified six loci that are specifically downregulated in ovules of apomictic plants. Four of...
