A parthenogenesis gene of apomict origin elicits embryo formation from unfertilized eggs in a sexual plant.
Apomixis is a naturally occurring mode of asexual reproduction in flowering plants that results in seed formation without the involvement of meiosis or fertilization of the egg. Seeds formed on an apomictic plant contain offspring genetically identical to the maternal plant. Apomixis has significant potential for preserving hybrid vigor from one generation to the next in highly productive crop ...
متن کاملA Parthenogenesis Gene Candidate and Evidence for Segmental Allopolyploidy in Apomictic Brachiaria decumbens
Apomixis, asexual reproduction through seed, enables breeders to identify and faithfully propagate superior heterozygous genotypes by seed without the disadvantages of vegetative propagation or the expense and complexity of hybrid seed production. The availability of new tools such as genotyping by sequencing and bioinformatics pipelines for species lacking reference genomes now makes the const...
متن کاملParamutation of tobacco transgenes by small RNA-mediated transcriptional gene silencing
It has been well established that trans-acting small RNAs guide promoter methylation leading to its inactivation and gene silencing at the transcriptional level (TGS). Here we addressed the question of the influence of the locus structure and epigenetic modifications of the target locus on its susceptibility for being paramutated by trans-acting small RNA molecules. Silencing was induced by cro...
متن کاملNo evidence for Wolbachia-induced parthenogenesis in the social Hymenoptera
The typical pattern in hymenopteran species is that females are produced from fertilized eggs but that males arise parthenogenetically from unfertilized eggs (arrhenotoky). In some species, however, unfertilized eggs can yield diploid female offspring through the process of thelytokous parthenogenesis. Indeed, it is puzzling why such asexual mutants have not outreproduced their sexual counterpa...
متن کاملHistocompatible embryonic stem cells by parthenogenesis.
Genetically matched pluripotent embryonic stem (ES) cells generated via nuclear transfer or parthenogenesis (pES cells) are a potential source of histocompatible cells and tissues for transplantation. After parthenogenetic activation of murine oocytes and interruption of meiosis I or II, we isolated and genotyped pES cells and characterized those that carried the full complement of major histoc...
