- Title
Molecular Basis of Apomixis in Plants.
- Authors
Hojsgaard, Diego
- Abstract
The study - featured in this collection - demonstrates, for the first time, that gene editing tools can be effectively used in apomixis research and inaugurates a new stage for the identification of apomixis genes. Finally, an opinion piece summarizes the relevant molecular data and the three currently accepted but divergent hypotheses explaining the nature of apomixis to point to a probable single molecular event with a multigenic effect on reproductive development implicated in the origin of apomixis, remarking on the need to find a unifying molecular model to fully exploit apomixis technology [[11]]. Sexual reproduction in plants is a complex, stringently regulated process that leads to the creation of diaspores for a new generation: sexual seeds.
