For the first time, a team of researchers has identified a small RNA species and its target gene that together regulate female germline formation in plants -- crucial knowledge for manipulating plant ...

Activity 1 – Tap and find Activity 2 – Flowering plant quiz Activity 3 – Steps of flowering reproduction Activity 4 – Label the sexual organs Unlike animals, plants don’t need a male and a female to ...

Self-incompatibility (SI) is a sophisticated reproductive strategy that prevents self-fertilisation and maintains genetic variability in flowering plants. This mechanism involves highly specific ...

Researchers have used a unique microscopic technique to examine the dynamics of pollen tubes in the Arabidopsis plant. They were able to observe the mechanism of one-to-one pollen tube guidance, a ...

Researchers have gained new insights into the genetic basis of rye reproduction. They have demonstrated how plants recombine ...

This archival footage from the 1930s offers an in-depth exploration of plant and aquatic life cycles, focusing on the processes of reproduction and growth at a microscopic level. The film begins with ...
