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 ...

Plant reproductive development, spanning flowering, pollination, fertilization, and seed formation, is orchestrated through the integration of genetic, epigenetic, hormonal, and environmental cues.

A Hiroshima-University-led research team has discovered a key gene responsible for the initiation of gemma development, ...

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 ...

A landmark review reveals conserved core cycles and sequential innovations that drove the diversification of land plants, ...

Researchers have discovered an ancient plant species whose reproductive biology captures the evolution from one to two spore sizes -- an essential transition to the success of the seed and flowering ...

Cherry trees do not simply bloom and fruit at random. This study shows that two ornamental cherry species use a layered ...
