Work on sorghum apomixis has now reached the stage where apomicts and vybrids from crosses between them have been formed in research facilities.    From Wordnik.com.  [9. Sorghum: Commercial Types] Reference

This association will allow researchers in the future to isolate the gene (s) controlling apomixis and possibly use them to produce true-breeding hybrids in many crops.    From Wordnik.com.  [6. Pearl Millet: Commercial Types] Reference

Scientists at CIAT in Colombia have identified "markers" for apomixis in a grass called brachiaria and confirmed that in this grass a single dominant gene controls apomixis ( "This is a little like finding the road signs").    From Wordnik.com.  [12: Seeds and germplasm] Reference

The useful characteristics they can confer include disease - and insect resistance, genes for fertility restoration of the A1 cytoplasm, cytoplasmic diversity, high yield under adverse conditions, apomixis, early maturity, and many inflorescence and plant morphological characteristics.    From Wordnik.com.  [6.

"The occurrence of apomixis in the Pomoideæ, and the high frequency of diploid seedlings, 23 out of 39, in a family of pears we raised from crossing the diploid variety Fertility with the triploid variety Beurre Diel, suggested that they may have been apomictically, or in part apomictically, reproduced.".    From Wordnik.com.  [Mark Bazer: A Grapple a Day...Won't do Much for You] Reference
