The mechanism by which liverwort (Marchantia polymorpha) asexually reproduces via the development of clonal progenies (gemmae) has been revealed by a cross-institutional research group. They ...

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Vol. 17, No. 1 (Jan., 2008), pp. 50-58 (9 pages) Aim: Local communities are subject to spatiotemporal contingencies of landscape processes; community assembly is thus ...

A rare yam species, Dioscorea melanophyma, spreads its clones by fooling birds with fake berries, helping it survive without seeds.

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Structure and behaviour of the underground organs of Iris vartani were investigated in connection with the vegetative reproduction of this ...

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 ...

Evolutionarily speaking, the ultimate goal of a lifeform is to reproduce and stave off extinction. Many plants and animals ...

Vegetative reproduction from stems, roots and leaves is common to all plants and results in an identical plant from which the cutting came; it’s a clone. As gardeners, we propagate cuttings for many ...

Question: What is it about plants that makes it possible for you to grow them from a cutting rather than having to always start them from seed? I’m planning to expand my garden this season and want to ...
