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 ...

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 ...

QUESTION: How do seedless plants reproduce? ANSWER: Scientists estimate that there are approximately 400,000 species of plants on Earth. It is no surprise that there are many forms of plant ...

The responses of reproduction and growth to climate warming are important issues to predict the fate of plant populations at high latitudes. Spring ephemerals inhabiting cool-temperate forests grow ...

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 ...

Seeds are the end product of plant reproduction. Whether directly as food, or indirectly as animal feed, they provide around 80 percent of human calorie consumption. In the millennia since humans ...

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 ...

When the female gametes in plants become fertilized, a signal from the sperm activates cell division, leading to the formation of new plant seeds. This activation can also be deliberately triggered ...

Activity 1 – Tap and find Activity 2 – Flowering plant quiz Activity 3 – Steps of flowering reproduction Activity 4 – Label the sexual organs Unlike animals, plants don’t need a male and a female to ...
