Nanjing, China: A new study published in Biological Diversity has revealed deep evolutionary principles that have governed the reproduction of land plants over the past 400 million years. By ...

Plant mating systems and reproductive strategies encompass the suite of mechanisms by which flowering plants achieve fertilisation and generate genetic variation. Most angiosperms are hermaphroditic ...

Floral longevity—the duration from flower opening to senescence—plays a pivotal role in the reproductive success of angiosperms by balancing the benefits of extended pollinator attraction against the ...

Penn researchers and colleagues have discovered how plants respond to seasonal flowering cues while protecting the stem cells at their growing tip, enabling continuous reproduction in changing ...

Researchers have uncovered how successful chromosome segregation during sexual reproduction is achieved in plants. The discovery, by scientists led by the University of Leicester, could be beneficial ...

Researchers have shed light on the reproductive role of 'dark matter' DNA - non-coding DNA sequences that previously seemed to have no function. Their findings have revealed that a specific non-coding ...
