Indian Institute of Science (IISc), has found strong evidence that a plant's ability to reproduce on its own—through ...

Flowering plants exhibit a remarkable array of sexual systems and reproductive strategies that govern gene flow, population structure and fitness. At one extreme, hermaphrodite flowers contain both ...

Plant mating systems and reproductive strategies encompass the suite of mechanisms by which flowering plants achieve fertilisation and generate genetic variation. Most angiosperms are hermaphroditic ...

Just one plant species can be enough to trigger an ecological invasion. Studies have shown that some tropical plants have ...

Bengaluru, has identified self-fertilisation, or uniparental reproduction, as a critical trait enabling plants to become invasive. Researchers examined 28 species from the daisy family, finding that ...

Hang Sun's group from Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences has demonstrated the ecological and evolutionary effects of changes in plant reproductive strategies on phylogenetic ...

Penn researchers and colleagues have discovered how plants respond to seasonal flowering cues while protecting the stem cells at their growing tip, enabling continuous reproduction in changing ...

Sex in the garden is more straightforward for the birds and the bees than it’s for the plants. Reproductive processes vary among flowering plants; for many, there is more than one option. When ...
