Flowering strips -- plants used to augment bee foraging habitats -- can help increase bee reproduction but may also increase pathogen infection rates.

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

Sexual reproduction in flowering plants occurs by fertilization of the female gamete (a reproductive cell) by a male gamete.

Scientists are tinkering with plant genes to create crops that seed their own clones, with a host of benefits for farmers.

This work investigates the reproductive consequences of late flowering in Leontodon autumnalis var. taraxaci in alpine southwest Norway during two seasons. In addition, the effects of an experimental ...

But cells in flowering plants are assigned more or less randomly to become reproductive units when the plant reaches sexual maturity. Within the flower, sperm cells are produced by pollen at the tips ...

New insight on how an enzyme ensures the correct growth of pollen tubes in flowering plants has been published today in the open-access journal eLife.

Flowering strips—pollinator-friendly rows of plants that increase foraging habitat for bees—can help offset pollinator decline but may also bring risks of higher pathogen infection rates for ...
