Hidden Clonal Seed Formation Discovered in Apple Relatives
Original: Low-Coverage Genome Sequencing Uncovers Hidden Clonal Seed Formation in Apple Relatives
Researchers using low-coverage genome sequencing have identified hidden clonal seed formation in wild relatives of the apple. The technique revealed that some plants produce seeds that are genetically identical to the parent, a form of asexual reproduction previously undetected in these species. The finding could have implications for breeding and conserving apple varieties.
Why now: New research reveals an unexpected reproductive mechanism in apple relatives with potential agricultural significance.
