Editing Apomixis (section)

==Apogamy and apospory in non-flowering plants==
The gametophytes of [[bryophyte]]s, and less commonly [[fern]]s and [[Lycopodiophyta|lycopods]] can develop a group of cells that grow to look like a sporophyte of the species but with the [[ploidy]] level of the gametophyte, a phenomenon known as apogamy. The sporophytes of plants of these groups may also have the ability to form a plant that looks like a gametophyte but with the ploidy level of the sporophyte, a phenomenon known as apospory.<ref>{{cite journal |author=Steil, W.N. |year=1939 |title=Apogamy, apospory, and parthenogenesis in the Pteridophytes |journal=The Botanical Review |volume=5 |issue=8 |pages=433–453 |doi=10.1007/bf02878704|bibcode=1939BotRv...5..433S |s2cid=19209851 }}</ref><ref>{{cite book |author=Niklas, K.J. |year=1997 |title=The evolutionary biology of plants |publisher=The University of Chicago press |location=Chicago |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=2aSrw70rOKgC|isbn=9780226580838 }}</ref>
