Researchers have identified a genetic sequence that is essential for plant reproduction. As this region is found in all plant species, it is expected to contribute to future crossbreeding initiatives ...

Quantifying the extent to which seed production is limited by the availability of pollen has been an area of intensive empirical study over the past few decades. Whereas theory predicts that pollen ...

Scientists have discovered a sexual reproduction process in microalgae that helps them better understand algae and plant evolution. Their discovery could lead to new industrial applications for ...

You might think flowers don't have much choice about who they mate with, given they are rooted to the ground and can't move.

OK, YOU FOLKS are lucky today. Finally, after all these months of harping on you to pinch and prune your plants, we will learn how to use some of those plant tips for asexual reproduction.

Scientists have developed a way to image sexual reproduction in living flowers, according to a new study. Scientists have developed a way to image sexual reproduction in living flowers, according to a ...

Self-incompatibility (SI) is a sophisticated reproductive strategy that prevents self-fertilisation and maintains genetic variability in flowering plants. This mechanism involves highly specific ...
