Notoriously, plants can mate across taxonomically-determined species boundaries, and interspecific hybridization is widely used in plant genetics research. Interspecific hybridizations have conferred ...

When hybrid seeds fail to develop, the reason often lies in the endosperm—a tissue in plant seeds that provides nutrients to ...

Heterosis, commonly referred to as hybrid vigor, is a phenomenon where hybrid plants exhibit superior traits compared to their parent strains. This concept is crucial in agriculture, as it can ...

Mendel had thus determined what happens when two plants that are hybrid for one trait are crossed with each other, but he also wanted to determine what happens when two plants that are each hybrid ...

Modern scrub mints, delicate flowering plants that grow mostly in Florida, likely result from ancient hybridization, according to a recent study I published with colleagues. Scrub mints are a ...

The investment creates a manufacturing system capable of producing internal combustion engine, hybrid and battery-electric ...

Affectionately known as the “leaf sheep” or the “Shaun-the-sheep slug,” this little animal-plant hybrid is a unique specimen, indeed. At first glance, this tiny sea slug—measuring just a ...
