Agamic
Definition:
(a.) Produced without sexual union; as, agamic or unfertilized eggs.
(a.) Not having visible organs of reproduction, as flowerless plants; agamous.
Example Sentences:
(1) In agamous-1, stamens to petals; in apetala2-1, sepals to leaves and petals to staminoid petals; in apetala3-1, petals to sepals and stamens to carpels; in pistillata-1, petals to sepals.

(6) Mutations in the homeotic gene agamous of the plant Arabidopsis cause the transformation of the floral sex organs.
(7) Mutations in the AGAMOUS (AG) gene cause transformations in two adjacent whorls of the Arabidopsis flower.
(8) These phenotypes are consistent with predictions from the genetic model, show that expression of AGAMOUS is sufficient to provide ectopic C function, and demonstrate that the structure of flowers can be manipulated in a predictable manner by altering the expression of a single regulatory gene.
