Development of a low-coverage whole genome sequencing screen for apomixis using a diverse set of Malus germplasm

This low-pass screening-by-sequencing method is a relatively low-cost, rapid method for detecting apomictic genotypes in diverse plant germplasm and when used thoughtfully in conjunction with flow cytometry, provides a new way to visualize the genetic outcomes of sexual and asexual reproduction in plants.
