mass nounBotany
  • Asexual reproduction in which seeds are produced from unfertilized ovules.

    〔植〕无配子种子生殖,无融合结籽

    Example sentencesExamples
    • Asexual seed production, agamospermy, occurs in >40 flowering plant families but is most prevalent in the grasses, Asteraceae, and Rosaceae.
    • Within the genera that develop bisexual flowers, agamospermy appears to be present in Sarcandra chloranthoides as well as Chloranthus serratus and C. fortunei.

    • Seeds are not produced without fertilization (absence of agamospermy).
    • Both species use a mixed breeding system, consisting of xenogamy, geitonogamy, and autogamy; agamospermy is unimportant.
