No sex required: German-Israeli team with FRIAS Alumnus Ralf Reski discovers gene trigger for asexual reproduction

No sex required: German-Israeli team with FRIAS Alumnus Ralf Reski discovers gene trigger for asexual reproduction

When a sperm and an egg cell merge a new life begins. This is the case in humans and in animals, but in principle also in plants. A German-Israeli team led by the biologists Professor Ralf Reski from Freiburg and Professor Nir Ohad from Tel-Aviv has discovered a gene trigger in the moss Physcomitrella patens which leads to offspring without fertilization. The researchers assume that this mechanism is conserved in evolution and holds the key to answer fundamental questions in biology. The study is published in the journal “Nature Plants”.
