Segregating progenies of crosses between sexual and apomictic genotypes of Paspalum simplex were analysed for the formation of meiotic versus aposporous embryo sacs, zygotic versus parthenogenetic embryos, and autonomous versus pseudogamous endosperms by using cytoembryological and flow cytometric analyses. Reduced and unreduced 8-nucleated embryo sacs were the final product of female gametophyte development in sexual and aposporous genotypes, respectively. An incomplete penetrance of parthenogenesis was detected in aposporous genotypes. The relative DNA content of endosperm nuclei revealed the normal 2:1 maternal to paternal ratio in sexuals and a 4:1 ratio in apomicts, indicating insensitivity of the apomictic genotypes to endosperm imprinting. Apospory, parthenogenesis and pseudogamy are located on a relatively large linkage group and are inherited together with previously developed molecular markers as a single genetic unit in segregating progenies.
