:
androgénesis
- A new study revealed that androgenesis can lead to the creation of plants with only the genetic material from the father.
Examples
-
In some species, androgenesis allows embryos to develop without the maternal contribution.
-
Other physical and environmental cues like light conditions, media, stress, and temperature also play an important role in the induction of androgenesis as reported in eggplant and other crops (Rotino et al., 2005; Karami and Saidi, 2010).

Etymology
Androgenesis comes from Greek parts andro- 'male' and -genesis 'birth' or 'origin'. So, androgenesis means a kind of development that starts only from the father's side, an embryo that grows using only the father's chromosomes.
