Humans like plants. We like seeing them change the colour of their leaves throughout the year. They connect us to nature even if we live in a big ...

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

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 ...

A research group led by Associate Professor Ryushiro Kasahara at Nagoya University in Japan, identified a genetic sequence in thale cress that is essential for plant reproduction. As this region is ...

A flower is the reproductive part of flowering plants. Flowers have colourful petals. The petals surround the male and female parts of the flower. The male parts are called stamens,The female parts ...

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 ...

In the damp understory of forests in Taiwan, mainland Japan, and Okinawa, a plant called Balanophora can fool you at first ...
