These various intramolluscan stages undergo
polyembryony and affect the growth pattern of the infected host, influencing its physiology, metabolism, fecundity, and survival rate [23, 24].
cauliflora) the average
polyembryony rate of 29.2% and 41.3% in seeds stored, being able to verify up to 5 seedlings per seed, where normally one has a zygote embryo, formed by fertilization and the rest of embryos are asexual (formed by apomixia), being these clones identical to the mother plant.
The seeds of Aspidosperma polyneuron display
polyembryony, i.e., they commonly show more than one developed embryo, and smaller ones exhibit different sizes and stages of development.
Citrus germplasm characterization and improvement was carried out but with a little success and the factors may include characters associated with reproductive biology of the species like prolonged juvenile period, great interspecific fertility, apomictic reproduction and
polyembryony (Corazza-Nunes et al., 2002).
Polyembryony, or the production of multiple offspring from a single zygote, is a widespread phenomenon in the animal kingdom.
opuntiarum is a gregarious parasitoid, its potential
polyembryony is under investigation, together with the oviposition behavior of females.
Other chapters look at pollination, nectar, reproductive hormones, self-sterility, and
polyembryony.
We observed
polyembryony in a large number of diaspores, causing each diaspore to originate up to three seedlings (Figure 4).
