A research group led by Associate Professor Ryushiro Kasahara at Nagoya University in Japan, identified a genetic sequence in thale cress that is essential for plant reproduction. As this region ...

But when scientists from Nagoya, Japan used powerful microscopes to study the fertilization process, they were surprised to find the female part of a flowering plant (ovules) could repel sperm ...

Self-Incompatibility Mechanisms in Plant Reproduction Publication Trend The graph below shows the total number of publications each year in Self-Incompatibility Mechanisms in Plant Reproduction.

Abstract: Pollen dispersal by animals varies extensively because of differences in pollinator visitation rates among plants, dissimilar pollination by the various pollinators that visit individual ...

Plants may be stuck in one place, but the world around them is constantly changing. In order to grow and flower at the right ...

Plant reproduction is a complex developmental process likely to be disrupted by the unusual environmental conditions in orbital spacecraft. Previous results, reviewed herein, indicated difficulties in ...

Researchers mapped the signaling network in plants and discovered novel insights about how plants process information about their environment. This gives new potential to strategies to protect ...

Understanding plant fertilization is important to secure food stocks and increase plant yields. A key part of this process involves signaling molecules. In the reproduction of thale cress, the ...
