Hot desert sex has resulted in major genetic differences between male and female jojoba plants -- one of only 6 percent of plants that require a male and female plant to reproduce. New research ...

A group of scientists from Nagoya University in Japan has used a specialized microscopic technique to observe the internal reproduction process of the Arabidopsis plant. Their findings, published in ...

Researchers have used a unique microscopic technique to examine the dynamics of pollen tubes in the Arabidopsis plant. They were able to observe the mechanism of one-to-one pollen tube guidance, a ...

Take it from a seasoned hortifreak, plants can reproduce in weird ways. I’m not talking about unusual seeds, ranging from giant naked coconuts to those little bumps on the outside of strawberry fruit ...

When we think about plants and trees, we mostly focus on their beauty and the shade they provide. Plants are incredibly diverse when it comes to their reproductive strategies. Most plants have flowers ...

(Kingston, ON) – A new, Queen's-led study shows that plants growing in harsh northern climates are losing the ability to reproduce sexually, an evolutionary phenomenon similar to the loss of sight in ...
