Apomixis is the type of asexual reproduction in which development of reproductive propagules takes place without meiosis and syngamy. There are two kinds of apomixis (asexual reproduction) in flowering plants: Agamospermy and vegetative propagation. Agamospermy is further divided into three types:
(i) Adventive Embryony: Formation of embryo directly from the diploid sporophytic cells (nucellus integument) of ovule (other than zygote) is called adventives embryony, e.g., Citrus.
(ii) Parthenogenesis: Formation of embryo from unfertilized egg.
(iii) Apospory and apogamy: Formation of embryo from any other cell of embryo sac (other than egg) without fertilization. During embryogenesis, an embryo develops from zygote inside the embryo sac and the embryo sac becomes an endosperm. Apomictic embryo, if develops, increases the number of embryos inside the seed. Occurrence of more than one embryo in a seed is called polyembryony.
