Sex in the garden is more straightforward for the birds and the bees than it’s for the plants. Reproductive processes vary among flowering plants; for many, there is more than one option. When ...

Asexual, or vegetative, reproduction in plants is controlled by environmental conditions, but the molecular signaling pathways that control this process are poorly understood. Recent research suggests ...

Even though seed propagation is the most popular form of plant reproduction, several plant forms can develop without seeds. This form of plant development is referred to as vegetative or asexual ...

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 ...

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 ...

Plant reproduction is highly complex and variable across the kingdom. The emergence of sexual reproduction has contributed to increase plant genetic diversity and enabled the colonisation of new ...

Plant responses to climate drivers such as temperature and precipitation may become visible only years after the actual climate event. New results indicate that climate drivers may have different ...

RARELY have seeds and fruits so closely resembled a work of art. These strikingly intricate images capture the fertilisation and reproduction of plants. The photos are taken from the book The Hidden ...
