Scientists have discovered a sexual reproduction process in microalgae that helps them better understand algae and plant evolution. Their discovery could lead to new industrial applications for ...

A moss gene previously thought to have been inactive actually plays a key role in its evolutionary success, researchers from ...

Researchers have identified a conserved Sexual Reproductive Cycle (SRC) shared by all land plants, rooted in alternating haploid and diploid generations. This evolutionary constant has been modified ...

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 ...

Nanjing, China: A new study published in Biological Diversity has revealed deep evolutionary principles that have governed the reproduction of land plants over the past 400 million years. By ...

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 ...
