adjective describing a type of reproduction in plants where seeds are produced without fertilization
Describes a form of asexual reproduction in plants where seeds are produced without the fusion of gametes.
Refers to a type of seed formation in plants where seeds are produced without fertilization, leading to offspring that are genetically identical to the parent plant.
Relates to the study of reproductive mechanisms in plants and the genetic implications of agamospermy.
Used to discuss non-sexual methods of seed production and their implications on genetic diversity in plant populations.
In the field of botany, agamospermous refers to plants that reproduce through asexual means, such as by producing seeds without fertilization.
Geneticists may study agamospermous plants to understand the mechanisms behind asexual reproduction and its implications for genetic diversity.
Horticulturists may work with agamospermous plants in breeding programs to develop new cultivars with desirable traits.
Ecologists may study the ecological impacts of agamospermous plants on native plant communities and ecosystems.
Biotechnologists may research the potential applications of asexual reproduction in crop improvement and genetic engineering.
Plant breeders may use agamospermous plants in their breeding programs to introduce new genetic variability and improve crop performance.
