QUESTION: How do seedless plants reproduce? ANSWER: Scientists estimate that there are approximately 400,000 species of plants on Earth. It is no surprise that there are many forms of plant ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - A study out of Harvard and Purdue universities is starting to unravel the genetic mechanisms that allow some plants to duplicate their entire genomes and continue to reproduce.

Vegetable, fruit, or grain -- the majority of our food results from plant reproduction. Researchers have now discovered the key to how plants regulate pollen growth and seed formation. In addition to ...

Plants can maximise their chances of reproduction by taking advantage of how insects move between flowers when they track down nectar, a study suggests. In one of the first studies of its type, ...

Scientists have built a detailed timeline of the gene activity leading up to meiosis in corn, a finding with potential implications for plant breeding as well as sexually reproductive organisms more ...

Plant reproduction is highly complex and variable across the kingdom. The emergence of sexual reproduction has contributed to increase plant genetic diversity and enabled the colonisation of new ...

Unless you are a serious dendrophiliac, you might not have wondered how plants reproduce. You might know about pollen and flowers, but not really know the details. Scientists have also been lacking ...
