Seeds without fertilization are obtained from a process called apomixis. Apomixis is a form of asexual reproduction in plants where seeds are produced without fertilization. In this process, the embryo develops from the maternal tissue without the need for male gametes (pollen) to fertilize the egg. The resulting seeds are genetically identical or very similar to the parent plant. Parthenocarpy refers to the development of fruits without fertilization, but it does not involve the formation of seeds. Parthenocarpic fruits are typically seedless. Polyembryony refers to the formation of multiple embryos within a single seed. These embryos may arise from fertilization events or asexual processes, but it does not specifically involve seeds without fertilization. Dormancy refers to a state of suspended growth or development in seeds, where they remain inactive until conditions are suitable for germination. Dormancy is not directly related to the production of seeds without fertilization.
