Heterosis has long been exploited in the hybrid seed industry, which contributes to high and stable yields of modern agriculture (Huang et al., 2016). However, heterosis phenotypes plants are segregated its offspring. Apomixis allows instant fixation propagation though seeds with heterozygous genotypes, showing great potential plant breeding agricultural practice (Ye Cui, 2019). naturally occurs hundreds species, but it is absent major crop species (Underwood Mercier, 2022).
