Scientists have discovered a sexual reproduction process in microalgae that helps them better understand algae and plant evolution. Their discovery could lead to new industrial applications for ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

Studying plant vegetative reproduction is key to increasing crop yield and for bioengineering. Kobe University research is making progress in studying the genetic regulation of the process in ...

Venkatesan Sundaresan, a plant reproduction biologist at UC Davis, has been awarded a 2024 Wolf Prize in Agriculture for his groundbreaking work on plant reproduction, which led to a method for ...
