Hej! Jag får ta en engelsk förklaring så att jag inte missar något. Detta är taget ur Plant Propagation av Hartmann and Kester.
In some species the embryo is not produced as a result of meiosis and fertilization, but from a cell in the embryo sac or surrounding nucellus, which does not undergo meiosis but develops to form a zygote of the same genetic makeup as the female plant. ( Nonrecurrent apomixis is an exception. ) The occurrence of this of this asexual reproductive process - in place of the sexual reproductive processes of reduction, division, and fertilization to produce an embryo - is known as apomixis. Seedling plants produced in this manner are known as apomicts. Plants that produce only apomictic embryos are known as obligate apomicts; those that produce both apomictic and sexual embryos are facultative apomicts.
Som du förstår kan de bli lite svårt ibland att få hybrider från apomikta växter. Är någon specialintresserad av att föröka växter så rekommenderar jag boken varmt. 700 sidor faktaspäckad text. Härligt! MVH Jan Lindgren
