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 ...

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 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 ...

Asexual, or vegetative, reproduction in plants is controlled by environmental conditions, but the molecular signaling pathways that control this process are poorly understood. Recent research suggests ...

Even though seed propagation is the most popular form of plant reproduction, several plant forms can develop without seeds. This form of plant development is referred to as vegetative or asexual ...

It’s time to take a minute to talk about the birds and the bees — and the butterflies, moths, wasps and beetles. The impact of these tiny unsung heroes known as pollinators is often overlooked. Still, ...

Honeybees, which are not native to the United States, may be outcompeting native bees for pollen. Ed Reschke via Getty Images Honeybees are often heralded as a symbol of biodiversity and a key species ...

Climate change has caused some tropical plants to flower earlier or later than they used to; in some cases by a matter of ...

Over 250 European organisations have signed a letter warning that some PRM provisions could accelerate the loss of crop diversity ...

These findings could be used to prevent plant inbreeding and promote genetic diversity in future conservation efforts.
