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 ...

For the first time, a team of researchers has identified a small RNA species and its target gene that together regulate female germline formation in plants -- crucial knowledge for manipulating plant ...

Researchers have gained new insights into the genetic basis of rye reproduction. They have demonstrated how plants recombine ...

McNair Scholar Edward Cruz is an undergraduate majoring in biochemistry and molecular biology at the University of Nevada, Reno who has just won the prestigious Goldwater Scholarship for his research ...

This archival footage from the 1930s offers an in-depth exploration of plant and aquatic life cycles, focusing on the processes of reproduction and growth at a microscopic level. The film begins with ...

Flowers are mainly made up of four parts: sepals, petals, stamens, and the pistil. Every part has it's unique and different ...

Biogeographic models predict that, because of increasingly unfavorable and stressful conditions, populations become less frequent, smaller, less dense, and less reproductive toward the range edges.

It’s time to take a minute to talk about the birds and the bees — and the butterflies, moths, wasps and beetles. The impact of these tiny unsung heroes known as pollinators is often overlooked. Still, ...

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 ...
