Scientists around the world are trying to transfer apomictic genes into hybrid varieties primarily because:
1. | cultivation of hybrids has tremendously increased productivity in many important crops. |
2. | hybrids are seedless varieties and therefore propagation becomes very difficult. |
3. | if seeds from the hybrids are sown, segregation leads to the loss of hybrid characters. |
4. | apomixis eliminates the use of seeds in the propagation of plants. |
The following diagram shows:
1. | Multicarpellary, syncarpus pistil of Papaver |
2. | Multicarpellary, apocarpus pistil of Papaver |
3. | Multicarpellary, apocarpous gynoecium of Michelia |
4. | Multicarpellary, syncarpous gynoecium of Michelia |
