androgenesis
All > Science > Biotechnology and Genetics > Food Biotechnology
- Male parthenogenesis, i.e. the development of a haploid embryo from a male nucleus. The maternal nucleus is eliminated or inactivated subsequent to fertilization of the ovum, and the haploid individual (referred to as androgenetic) contains in its cells the genome of the male gamete only. See: anther culture; gynogenesis.
