Balanophora plants represent an extreme example of this shift. They do not produce their own food through photosynthesis but ...

Discover how plant patents protect unique varieties through asexual reproduction. Learn key characteristics, application needs, and how to ensure robust IP protection.

The study reveals how Balanophora plants function despite abandoning photosynthesis and, in some species, sexual reproduction ...

Reproduction in the animal kingdom has historically been sexual. Cloning the sheep Dolly in 1997 moved us closer to the possibility of duplicating other animals or humans asexually, but the practice ...

There are plants that are neither green nor sexually reproductive, but precisely because of that they teach us a lot about ...

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 ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Structure and behaviour of the underground organs of Iris vartani were investigated in connection with the vegetative reproduction of this ...

Question: What is it about plants that makes it possible for you to grow them from a cutting rather than having to always start them from seed? I’m planning to expand my garden this season and want to ...

A scientist has moved a step closer to turning sexually-reproducing plants into asexual reproducers, a finding that could have profound implications for agriculture. Farmers throughout the world spend ...

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 ...
