Apomixis in Plants presents a comprehensive review of different
aspects of asexual seed formation in plants. This is important in
plant research since apomixis could greatly facilitate breeding in
important crops. It is also interesting theoretically because it
carries problems related to genetic variation and evolution to its
extreme. The book features a broad selection of topics, including a
historical review of ideas and landmarks in the field; comparisons
with other types of asexual reproduction in higher plants and with
related phenomena in animals and related plants; a presentation of
cytology and embryology of apomicts and the diversified terminology
in the field; views on the genetic background of apomixis and
environmental effects on its expression; and the interrelation
between apomixis and other traits. Additional topics covered
include classical and modern theories of sexual versus asexual
reproduction; geographical and taxonomical trends in apomicts;
ecological implications of apomixis, and a review of future
possibilities for using apomixis in plant breeding. Apomixis in
Plants is an important reference volume for researchers and
students in all areas of botany, ecology, and plant breeding.
