Controversy around apomixis

Three problems are discussed in the present article: the currently changing meaning and range of the term "apomixis," opinions on the normality of apomictic processes, and the relation between vegetative and apomictic reproduction. The differences in opinion on these matters reflect the authors’ subjective views, which cannot be avoided in dealing with complex phenomena that are difficult to manipulate experimentally. However, the increase in the number of synonyms that can be observed in the current literature is not useful in discussions and does not make statements easier to interpret. Thus, special attention should be paid to the precise use of terminology in discussions and articles on apomixis and related processes.
