Apomixis is an asexual mode of seed formation that produces clonal progeny with a maternal genotype.Polyembryony is the phenomenon of two or more embryos developing from a single fertilized egg.Parthenocarpy is the natural or artificially induced production of fruit without fertilization of ovules.
