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, ...

This video segment adapted from NOVA explains how flowers play a central role in the reproductive cycle of plants. Their striking array of colors, patterns, fragrances, and nectar all require lots of ...

Alex Harkess holds the Amborella plant sequenced in this study in 2013, during his training in Leebens-Mack’s lab at UGA. Plant reproduction is a cornerstone of our food system and ecological balance; ...

You might think flowers don’t have much choice about who they mate with, given they are rooted to the ground and can’t move. But when scientists from Nagoya, Japan used powerful microscopes to study ...

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 ...

Kress, W. John and Beach, J. H. 1994. "Flowering plant reproductive systems at La Selva Biological Station." In La Selva: Ecology and natural history of a neotropical ...

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 ...
