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 ...

Scientists have developed a way to image sexual reproduction in living flowers, according to a new study. Scientists have developed a way to image sexual reproduction in living flowers, according to a ...

Alex Harkess holds the Amborella plant sequenced in this study in 2013, during his training in Leebens-Mack’s lab at UGA. Plant reproduction is a cornerstone of our food system and ecological balance; ...

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

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 ...

Small RNAs are short RNA molecules that help determine which genes in a cell are switched on or off. Until now, it was assumed that the small RNAs necessary for pollen development originate in the ...
