Abstract: Parthenogenesis is a natural form of asexual reproduction wherein growth and development of embryos occur without fertilization by sperm. Peptides are used as parthenogenesis factors, specifically comprising polypeptides or polynucleotides encoding gene products for generating doubled haploids or haploid plants from female gametes.

Abstract: The present disclosure discloses polynucleotide sequences that can be used to regulate gene expression in plants. Terminator sequences from Sorghum bicolor and Oryza sativa that are functional in plants are disclosed. Nucleic acid molecules, recombinant expression constructs, plants and seed comprising these terminator sequences are further disclosed.
