Evolution of plant reproduction: From fusion and dispersal to interaction and communication

Abstract: Based on the existing data concerning the evolution of the sexual reproduction, it is argued that the processes of sex differentiation and interactions play a key role in evolution. From the beginning environment and organism are unified. In a changing dynamic environment life originates and the interaction between life and environment develops from simple to more complex organisms. Sexual reproduction is introduced after the origin of meiosis and is a key process in evolution. The asexual reproduction process… Show more

“…Sexual reproduction offers an opportunity to recombine combinations of genetic traits and spread genetic variability between populations. This new-found capacity played a major role during evolution in the adaptation of plants to the terrestrial environment [10][11][12]. Sexual reproduction became therefore the prevalent reproduction system in both plants and animals [13].…”

“…To fully harness the potential of Azolla , however, its domestication is a prerequisite. Domestication requires protocols for the collection, storage and dissemination of reproductive structures (Willemse, ). In addition, breeding varieties adapted to specific uses and permitting containment of this otherwise invasive weed requires control over sexual reproduction.…”
