Nature Communication: High-frequency synthetic apomixis in hybrid rice
12/01/2023
The transfer of apomixis, the clonal asexual reproduction by grain, to crops has long been a research goal, as it would fix hybrid vigor. Here we show that it is possible to obtain synthetic apomixis in a hybrid rice by simultaneous inactivation of three of its genes combined with the addition of a gene consisting of rice elements. Clonal grains are produced with a frequency of more than 95% and form plants that are genotypically and phenotypically identical to the starting hybrid, which now makes synthetic apomixis compatible for use in agriculture.
