This document discusses apomixis, a type of asexual reproduction in plants where seeds develop without fertilization. It has been identified in over 300 plant species across 30 families. There are several types of apomixis including adventive embryony, apospory, and diplospory. Apomixis has applications for crop improvement as it allows for the fixation of hybrid vigor and heterozygosity. However, utilizing apomixis requires changes to traditional plant breeding programs.
Self-incompatibility refers to the inability of a plant with functional pollen to set seeds when self pollinated. It is the failure of pollen from a flower to fertilize the same flower or other flowers of the same plant.
This presentation includes, Single-locus self-incompatibility- {Gametophytic self-incompatibility (GSI) and Sporophytic self-incompatibility (SSI)},2-locus gametophytic self-incompatibility, Heteromorphic self-incompatibility,Cryptic self-incompatibility (CSI) and Late-acting self-incompatibility (LSI).
Apomixis in flowering plants is defined as the asexual formation of a seed from the maternal tissues of the ovule, avoiding the processes of meiosis and fertilization, leading to embryo development.

Plant breeding methods of vegetatively propagated crops Roksana Aftab Ruhi
Vegetatively propagated crops are bred by intentionally crossing of closely or distantly related individual to produce new crop varieties or lines with desirable traits. Breeding of vegetative crops have successfully improved quality, yield, tolerance of crops to environmental pressure. Breeding helps in producing crops that are resistant to viruses, fungi and bacteria and helps in longer storage period for the harvested crop.

Clone is the progeny of a single plant, produced by asexual reproduction
Clonal selection is the selection of the most desirable members of a clone for continued vegetative propagation rather than for sexual reproduction.
The members of a clone keep up genetic constancy.
So by clonal selection and continued vegetative propagation, the desirable qualities of plants can be maintained for long.
The mating or crossing of two plants or lines of dissimilar genotype is known as hybridization. The chief objective of hybridization is to create genetic variation, when two genotypically different plants are brought together in F1. Here, we are going to discuss about different strategies and tools used for hybridization.

In flowering plants, the term "apomixis" is commonly used in a restricted sense to mean agamospermy, i.e. clonal reproduction through seeds.
Thus, Apiomixis can be defined as the development of embryo with or without embryosac formation but without fertilization.
This P.P.T is about a chapter reproduction in 10th Asexual reproduction Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction by which offspring arise from a single organism, and inherit the genes of that parent only; it does not involve the fusion of gametes and almost never changes the number of chromosomes. Asexual reproduction is the primary form of reproduction for single-celled organisms such as the archaebacteria, eubacteria, and protists. Many plants and fungi reproduce asexually as well.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Apomixis and its application for crop improvement.
1. Apomixis and its Application for
crop improvement.
PRESENTED BY: Pawan Nagar
Reg. no.: 04-2690-2015
M.Sc.(Fruit Science)
2. Apomixis refers to the development of
seed without sexual fusion (fertilization).
In apomixis embryo develops without
fertilization.
Thus apomixis is an asexual means of
reproduction.
3. Identification in over 300 species belonging
to 30 families.
Most frequently found in families like
Compositae, Rosaceae, Graminae,
Asteraceae.
Thus it is not rare but relatively uncommon.
4. Apomixis is potentially a powerful
breeding tool to fix heterosis.
But it is nuisance when breeder desires to
obtain sexual progeny because
recombination of crossing is impossible.
5. Adventive Embryony:-
Embryo develop directly from vegetative cells
of ovule such as nucellus, integuments and
chalaza.
No development of embryo sac.
This is a type of Sporophytic budding.
E.g. Citrus, Mango.
6. Apospory:-
Some vegetative cells of the ovule
develop into unreduced emrbyosac
without meiosis.
Embryo then develops directly from
diploid egg cell without fertilization.
E. g. Malus, Crepis, Poa, etc.
7. Diplospory:-
Embryosac is produced from the
megaspore which may be haploid or
more generally diploid.
Diplospory leads to Parthenogenesis or
Apogamy.
8. Parthenogenesis:-
Development of embryo from the egg cell
without fertilization.
Two types:- Haploid parthenogenesis
Diploid parthenogenesis
Haploid parthenogenesis occurs in
Solanum nigrum.
Diploid parthenogenesis occurs in
Taraxacum.
9. In many species, e.g., Nicotiana, Datura,
Rice etc., pollen grains may be induced
invitro to produce haploid embryos or
plantlet; this is called Androgenesis.
For this, anthers or pollen grains are
cultured on a suitable tissue culture
medium. This technique offers
possiblities for crop improvement.
10. Apogamy :-
The origin of embryo from either
synergids or antipodal cells of the
embryosac is called apogamy.
Two types:- Haploid apogamy
Diploid apogamy
Diploid apogamy has been reported in
Allium, Iris and many other species.
11.
12. Obligate apomictic:- Reproduction in
plant by only Apomixis.
Facultative apomictic:- Sexual
reproduction also occurs in addition to
Apomixis.
Many crop species show apomixis, but it
is generally facultative.
13. Apomixis is used to achieve following
objectives:-
Fixation of Heterosis.
Fixation of Heterozygous state.
Rapid Production of Homozygous Lines.
Production of phenotypically stable
population called Vybrids.
14. In case of obligate apomixis, progeny from
cross resemble female parent.
In case of facultative apomixis, percent of
progeny identical to female parent gives the
degree of apomixis.
In selfed generation, presence of plants
showing no inbreeding depreesion is
indicative of apomixis.
Embryological studies of young ovules
confirm apomixis.
15. A very complicated phenomenon. Its
utilization necessitates reorientation of
breeding program and seed certification.
Estimation of apomixis in case of facultative
is tedious and time consuming.
Genetic base of apomixis is not clear in
most cases.
