Other claims from this paper (7)
- Observation Almost all Hanguana taxa tested were genetically uniform (uniclonal).
- Mechanism The distribution of single clones over distinct localities supports the hypothesis of apomictic reproduction in Hanguana.
- Observation Only one sexually reproducing native Hanguana species was detected.
- Mechanism The type of apomixis in Hanguana is suggested to be gametophytic.
- Association The presence of male plants is a strong indicator of sexual reproduction in Hanguana.
- Observation Genome triplication is indicative of apomictic reproduction in Hanguana.
- Observation Population genomics tools offer a quick and cost-effective way of detecting excess clonality to infer apomixis.
