Abstract
Based on a review of the literature data and experimental studies performed on sugar beet, a revised classification of the reproduction modes in higher plants has been proposed. Three main modes of reproduction may be distinguished: a) sexual (gamospermy), in which the seed germ develops from the zygote formed after fusion of the male and famale gametes; b) subsexual (agamospermy), in which the seed germ is formed from the gamete or some other cell of the plant generative system without involvement of a gamete of the opposite sex; c) asexual (vegetacy), in which progeny develops from a group of vegetative cells.
