Harnessing apomixis: natural mechanisms and synthetic innovations for advancing crop and forage breeding.
Article in Horticulture research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Apomixis, a reproductive mechanism that enables clonal seed production, generates progeny genetically identical to the maternal parent. In plant breeding, sexual reproduction can enhance traits through genetic recombination and hybrid vigor, yet trait segregation significantly raises breeding costs and complexity. Although apomixis occurs naturally across various plant species, it remains notably absent in major crops like rice and maize. Significant progress has been made in identifying the genes that govern this process. Recent breakthroughs in synthetic apomixis provide promising pathways for crop improvement. This review offers a comprehensive analysis of natural apomixis and its genetic regulators, with a focus on recent advances in synthetic apomictic systems. We also explore the current state and potential of apomixis in forage breeding, especially in addressing challenges related to self-incompatibility, polyploidy, and genomic complexity in forage species. Finally, we discuss the challenges in applying apomixis to forage breeding and future directions for this research.
