When it comes to reproduction, one type of red algae gets by with a little help from its friends: small sea crustaceans that transport sex cells between male and female algae, like pollen-laden bees ...
Peking University, May 6, 2025: The research team led by Qu Lijia and Zhong Sheng from the School of Life Sciences and the Peking-Tsinghua Center for Life Sciences has discovered a conserved "two-step ...
Scientists identified a gene responsible for triggering plants to develop fruits and seeds. This finding may help agriculturists bypass pollination altogether for food production, which will be ...
Bees, butterflies, moths, hummingbirds and other nectar-seeking wildlife are often heralded for the vital role they play in pollinating flowering plants on land. Now, there’s a new creature to add to ...
In a typical pollination scenario, the spiky, genome-packed pollen from a flower’s male stamen attaches itself to the fuzzy torso of a bee. The bee travels to the next flower in search of more nectar, ...
Background and aims The transition from outcrossing to selfing is a repeated pattern in angiosperm diversification and according to general theory this transition should occur quickly and mixed ...
A new gene that controls self-fertilization has been identified in an engineered version of the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. A new gene that controls self-fertilization has been identified in an ...
This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Fagaceae includes typical masting species that exhibit highly synchronized and fluctuating acorn production. Fagaceae shows an interesting ...
With rising global temperatures and dwindling pollinator populations, food production has become increasingly difficult for the world’s growers. A new study from researchers at the University of ...
