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 ...

During their daily quest for survival, plants need to strike a careful balance between growth and defence. Both functions are vital for their successful reproduction, however, most plants are not able ...

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 ...

What makes plants grow to a certain size? From the tiniest cells to whole leaves, roots, and stems, growth has to be carefully coordinated—but until now, it has been hard to compare findings from ...

AMES, Iowa – Hongqing Guo studies a gene that affects both how plants grow and how they respond to environmental threats, hoping to unravel – and then harness – the balancing act between fortifying ...

Scientists have revealed that plants have a 'sealing' mechanism supported by microbes in the root that are vital for the intake of nutrients for survival and growth. Scientists have revealed that ...
