BLACK BOX. "The molecular mechanisms controlling apomixis, a mode of asexual reproduction in plants leading to clonal seed formation, are largely unknown." https://lnkd.in/dKiMTaq View in LinkedIn

APOMIXIS TRAIT. "When crop species acquire this trait, superior genotypes, including hybrids, will be fixed and seeds will be multiplied without segregation of superior gene combinations." http://journals.tubitak.gov.tr/agriculture/abstract.htm?id=16663 View in LinkedIn

SO ENDS this foray into hybrids and speciation. Tullimonstrum (the Tully Monster) has been a taxonomic conundrum for a long time, seemingly cobbled together from various taxa and without comparator, and is fossil proof of the extreme of speciation weirdness. It will not be the last such example. https://lnkd.in/dm8QrFv View in LinkedIn

OTHER MECHANISMS. "Admixture can simultaneously bring together many new combinations of alleles, generating multilocus novelties that might never have appeared via gradual accumulation of new mutations in a single population. Gene exchange is not the sole, nor even necessarily most likely, source of evolutionary novelty, but is perhaps the most likely mechanism of sudden, population level change. Transgressive segregation might be just the mechanism to make more monsters hopeful." http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11692-012-9209-0 View in LinkedIn

REGULATION OF MULTIPLE FISSION. "We describe the different organizational types of multiple fission cell cycles, with distinct timing of DNA replication, nuclear, and cellular divisions, and discuss how they are regulated at physiological and molecular levels." https://lnkd.in/dDMwBQq View in LinkedIn

MANY DAUGHTERS. "Multiple fission, typical for some green algae, leads to division into more than two daughter cells (from 4 to 1024), in principle, 2n." https://lnkd.in/dDMwBQq View in LinkedIn

MULTIPLE FISSION. "Microalgae divide by two mechanisms: binary and multiple fission. Binary fission is the division into two daughter cells, as seen in the majority of eukaryotic organisms; it also represents a transition to multiple fission" https://lnkd.in/dDMwBQq View in LinkedIn

ORGANELLE FISSION. "This form of asexual reproduction and cell division is also used by some organelles within eukaryotic organisms (e.g., mitochondria). Binary fission results in the reproduction of a living prokaryotic cell (or organelle) by dividing the cell into two parts, each with the potential to grow to the size of the original." https://lnkd.in/dwsn3wd) View in LinkedIn
