Apomixis is a type of asexual reproduction that mimics sexual reproduction to form seeds without fertilisation. 

In apomictic seeds, parental characters are maintained in the progeny/offspring as there is no meiosis or segregation of characters. 

If desired hybrid seeds are made apomictics the farmers can keep on using the hybrid seeds to raise new crops year after year.
