In plants, there are some species that are capable of reproducing through a process called parthenogenesis, which involves the development of an embryo from an unfertilized egg. This type of reproduction is rare in plants, but it has been observed in some species, such as dandelions and some citrus plants.

In parthenogenesis, the ovule of the plant develops into an embryo without being fertilized by male gametes. This process can occur spontaneously or can be induced by certain stimuli, such as mechanical damage or chemical treatments. The resulting plant is genetically identical to the parent plant, since it only inherits genetic material from the maternal parent.

While parthenogenesis is not as common in plants as sexual or asexual reproduction, it can be a useful adaptation in certain situations, such as in environments where pollinators are scarce or in the absence of suitable mates.
