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.
