Plant reproductive development, spanning flowering, pollination, fertilization, and seed formation, is orchestrated through the integration of genetic, epigenetic, hormonal, and environmental cues.
This video segment adapted from NOVA explains how flowers play a central role in the reproductive cycle of plants. Their striking array of colors, patterns, fragrances, and nectar all require lots of ...
Understanding a plant’s roots, shoots and growth habits increases the likelihood of success with vegetative reproduction.
Mentor: Deidra Jacobsen, Ph.D. Plants must allocate a limited amount of resources among growth, reproduction, and defense. Resources devoted to flowers and fruits can depend on the relative benefit of ...
Reproductive assurance is frequently used to explain the evolution of selfing but has become controversial from lack of evidence. We studied the pollination system of the near carnivorous plant genus ...
This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Generalist plant-pollinator interactions are prevalent in nature. Here, we untangle the role of nectar production in the visitation and pollen ...
A recent study in Ficus hispida genomics has unlocked the genetic mechanisms driving this fig tree's unique reproductive system. The fully sequenced genome, a first of its kind for Ficus, reveals ...
Researchers from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST) have shed light on the reproductive role of 'dark matter' DNA - non-coding DNA sequences that previously ...
With an increasing frequency and intensity of flooding events and an eye to capitalize on a common rice production technique, ...
Researchers have shed light on the reproductive role of 'dark matter' DNA - non-coding DNA sequences that previously seemed to have no function. Their findings have revealed that a specific non-coding ...
