Asexual Propagation: Agamospermy
In agamospermy, also known as apomixis, a seed develops directly from tissues of the ovule rather than from a fertilized egg. Depending on the species, a fruit may or may not be produced. The plants that develop by agamospermy are clones of the mother plant. Agamospermy occurs in nature in species such as dandelions and blackberries, enabling them to spread rapidly since they can bypass pollination and fertilization.
