In Arabidopsis, mutations in the genes FIE, FIS2 or MEDEA disrupt the normal dependence of seed development on fertilization. The products of these genes are similar to Polycomb group proteins, suggesting possible mechanisms for determining whether seeds can be produced sexually or asexually.
在拟南芥中，FIE、FIS2或MEA基因的突变破坏了种子发育对受精的正常依赖。这些基因的产物类似于多梳蛋白家族蛋白质，这提示了决定种子是通过有性还是无性方式产生的可能机制。
