| Using molecular markers, apomixis was shown to have arisen frequently and independently during the evolution of this agamic complex. |
| Our findings indicate that in general haplodiploidy and automixis should be more successful than amphimixis or apomixis. |
| Another example is the major impact that understanding apomixis would have on plant breeding. |
| Therefore it can be assumed that the seeds analyzed in this study were the result of neither selfing nor apomixis. |
| Mutations of these hybrids may have given rise to further microspecies stabilized by apomixis. |
| Furthermore, it can be shown to hold for PGE with male somatic diploidy and for polyploid apomixis as well. |
