Some plants bend the rules of plant life so far that they barely resemble plants at all. Balanophora is one of them - a ...

Discover how plant patents protect unique varieties through asexual reproduction. Learn key characteristics, application needs, and how to ensure robust IP protection.

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 ...

The study of plant reproductive systems provides crucial insights into ecological interactions and the process of evolutionary change. Reproductive success is closely allied to overall fitness, and ...

The intricate floral morphology observed in many angiosperms is a result of evolutionary adaptations designed to optimise reproductive success. Heterostyly, a classic example of such adaptation, ...

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 ...

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 ...
