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 ...

In the flowering plant world, reproduction means an intricate succession of events. It begins when a pollen grain that carries the sperm cells lands on the top of the pistil, the female reproductive ...

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 ...

Researchers led by Dr. LI Hongju from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have revealed that the female gamete in flowering plants controls ...

There are plants that are neither green nor sexually reproductive, but precisely because of that they teach us a lot about what it means to be a ...

A research group led by Dr. Ryushiro Kasahara has discovered a new plant tissue essential for seed formation, which will be ...

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 ...
