  • PARTHENOGENESIS METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS
    Publication number: 20250277230
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods and compositions for inducing parthenogenesis by expressing, in a female gametophyte, a Babyboom (BBM) polynucleotide operably linked to a promoter that expresses in an egg cell. Also included herein are promoters that express in a plant egg cell and methods of expressing a gene product in an egg cell of a plant using these promoters.
