  abstract = {{I}n the past decades, the grasses of the {P}aspalum genus have emerged as a versatile model allowing evolutionary, genetic, molecular, and developmental studies on apomixis as well as successful breeding applications. {T}he rise of such an archetypal system progressed through integrative phases, which were essential to draw conclusions based on solid standards. {H}ere, we review the steps adopted in {P}aspalum to establish the current body of knowledge on apomixis and provide model breeding programs for other agronomically important apomictic crops. {I}n particular, we discuss the need for previous detailed cytoembryological and cytogenetic germplasm characterization; the establishment of sexual and apomictic materials of identical ploidy level; the development of segregating populations useful for inheritance analysis, positional mapping, and epigenetic control studies; the development of omics data resources; the identification of key molecular pathways via comparative gene expression studies; the accurate molecular characterization of genomic loci governing apomixis; the in-depth functional analysis of selected candidate genes in apomictic and model species; the successful building of a sexual/apomictic combined breeding scheme.},
