The dandelion PARTHENOGENESIS gene dominantly modifies Arabidopsis fertilization and embryogenesis

Rita Baltazar de Lima, Yazhong Wang, Zhihua Cheng, Nicole Jansen, Dilsha Kheani, Violet Sackett, Yannick Jacob, Charles J. Underwood

This study shows that the ToPAR gene can induce egg cell division and alter embryo development in Arabidopsis, suggesting it can trigger parthenogenesis without gamete-specific factors.
