Apomixis is a form of asexual reproduction that allows hybrid rice ... overexpression of WUS can promote somatic embryogenesis and shoot regeneration in plants like Arabidopsis.

Whole-body regeneration: The process by which an organism can regenerate an entirely new body from a fragment of tissue. Blastogenesis: A form of non-embryonic asexual reproduction in which new ...

Neoblasts respond to injury through position-specific signaling from surrounding tissues and generate new tissues during maintenance, asexual reproduction, and regeneration. In the study ...

It also may be key in understanding how this form of asexual reproduction can give rise to diversity in a population without sexual reproduction. As described in the PNAS study, the team found ...

This work indicated that Hox genes are crucial to the regeneration process in planarians ... led the researchers to hypothesize that Hox genes are involved in asexual reproduction. Out of the thirteen ...

Among vertebrates, or animals with backbones, asexual reproduction is more rare. However, California condors, New Mexico whiptail lizards and certain fish all reproduce via a process known as ...

Parthenogenesis is a natural form of asexual reproduction in which growth and development of embryos occur without fertilization by sperm. It is generally believed that sexual reproduction leads ...

Asexual reproduction is common among plants and insects. It is rarer among vertebrates. No mammals, as far as we know, do it in the wild. Yet a growing list of bird, shark, lizard and snake ...

These findings indicate that the switch to asexual mode of reproduction provides the fungus a 'fitness advantage'. The 'paradox of sex' refers to the puzzle of why the sexual mode of reproduction is ...
