This project investigates the genetic mechanisms behind autonomous endosperm formation in plants to enable pollen-independent seed production. By studying natural apomicts like dandelion and rockcress, the aim is to engineer these traits into tomato, enhancing agricultural resilience against heat stress and improving c…
Seed development in most flowering plants is coupled to fertilization, which leads to the formation of two structures: the embryo, which forms the next generation; and the nourishing endosperm.
Some plant species, however, can produce seeds without fertilization.
This phenomenon is called apomixis and, although relatively infrequent, it occurs in several plant families.
This type of asexual reproduction via seeds is highly desirable in agriculture: first, it would allow the fixation of hybrid vi…
