Se caracterizan por tener un sistema vascular, porque no forman semillas durante su ciclo de vida y porque en este ciclo se alternan dos fases independientes y de vida libre, y una perenne y conspicua que es el esporofito(2n) planta conocida como helecho y que tiene un tallo o rizoma, hojas que van desde enteras hasta 4 a 5 veces divididas y que pueden medir desde unos cuantos milímetros hasta varios metros de longitud. 2, record 2, Spanish, - pteridofita

Various forms of apomixis occur. One of the leading form is apogamy. In apogamy the embryo develops from two haploid nuclei other than the eggs. Commonly apogamy results from fusion of two cells of the embryo sac, either synergids or antipodals. 3, record 4, English, - apogamy

The most important tropical forages are Brachiaria spp. Existing cultivars are natural, polyploid, aposporous apomicts. Breeding programs seek to combine attributes from the tetraploid apomicts B. brizantha and B. decumbens. Apomixis is monogenic and dominant. We sought to synthesize an allogomous, sexual, breeding population containing germplasm from selected apomicts. Apospory was not detected in a large open-pollinated progeny of sexual hybrids from sexual-by-apomictic crosses. 2, record 5, English, - apospory
