Researchers have identified a genetic sequence that is essential for plant reproduction. As this region is found in all plant species, it is expected to contribute to future crossbreeding initiatives ...

Scientists have discovered a sexual reproduction process in microalgae that helps them better understand algae and plant evolution. Their discovery could lead to new industrial applications for ...

A Hiroshima-University-led research team has discovered a key gene responsible for the initiation of gemma development, ...

Researchers have identified a conserved Sexual Reproductive Cycle (SRC) shared by all land plants, rooted in alternating haploid and diploid generations. This evolutionary constant has been modified ...

Studying plant vegetative reproduction is key to increasing crop yield and for bioengineering. Kobe University research is making progress in studying the genetic regulation of the process in ...

A landmark review reveals conserved core cycles and sequential innovations that drove the diversification of land plants, from simple spores to complex flowers and fruits.
