A research team at the IPK Leibniz Institute has developed a method that enables the detailed observation of female ...

The process of male meiosis in plants is fundamental to the formation of viable pollen grains. It involves a series of highly regulated cell divisions in which diploid pollen mother cells undergo ...

Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol. 54, No. 380, Special Issue: Plant Reproductive Biology (January 2003), pp. 11-23 (13 pages) Evidence is now increasing that many functions and processes of meiotic ...

The process of meiosis involves genetic shuffling that dilutes the desirable traits of sexually reproducing crops. Identification of a mutation in which shuffling does not occur is a step forward for ...

As viewed from a human perspective, nature has done some ingenious engineering to overcome some of the obstacles it has faced. Take the evolution of sex, for instance. To make the move from asexual to ...

Scientists have developed a way to image sexual reproduction in living flowers, according to a new study. Scientists have developed a way to image sexual reproduction in living flowers, according to a ...

Albert Cairó, Karel Riha and their colleagues have discovered a previously unknown mechanism that is responsible for reprogramming gene expression during the transition when one cell differentiates ...

Scientists have developed a way to image sexual reproduction in living flowers, according to a study published today in the open-access journal eLife. The new technique, originally reported on bioRxiv ...
