This video segment adapted from NOVA explains how flowers play a central role in the reproductive cycle of plants. Their striking array of colors, patterns, fragrances, and nectar all require lots of ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A research collaboration has demonstrated the function of a genetic pathway for anther development, with this pathway proven in 2019 work to be present widely in the flowering plants that evolved over ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Plant reproduction plays a vital role in our food systems and the balance of ecosystems, yet it remains a complex process. Plants ...

An understanding of certain basic principles of horticultural science is sometimes important in gardening. When it comes to fruit production, this is certainly true. Plants that are grown for their ...

Plants, herbivores and parasitoids affect each other directly and indirectly; however, feedback effects mediated by host plant traits have rarely been demonstrated in these tritrophic interactions.

Scientists have developed a way to image sexual reproduction in living flowers, according to a study published today in the open-access journal eLife. The new technique, originally reported on bioRxiv ...
