Abstract excerpt
Apomixis, or clonal reproduction through seeds, bypasses meiosis and fertilization to produce progeny that are genetically identical to the mother plant, thereby allowing fixation of hybrid vigor (heterosis) across generations. Synthetic apomixis has been established in Arabidopsis thaliana and rice (Oryza sativa) by combining 3 mutations into a Mitosis instead of Meiosis (MiMe) system where meiosis is...
