Reproduction - a factor of plant evolution
Abstract
The process of reproduction (amphimixis and apomixis) represents a major factor of evolution. The facultative apomictic species are the pioneers of evolution. They combine the adventages of amphimixis (high degree of variability and heterogenesis) and apomixis (relative stability and low material expenditure) assuring a rapid rate of adaptive evolution.
