Recent research into bacterial cellulose patches may speed plants' recovery, improve grafting and help with preservation.

The topic of plant reproduction can be fascinating, as it is so different from that of animals. Since they are little, ...

Some plants reproduce by making a bulb that is an identical copy of themselves. Some plants can also reproduce without an egg cell being fertilised to produce a seed. Instead, these plants produce ...

Plants survive climate change using genetic variations. Scientists studied Marchantia polymorpha to find key adaptation ...

Kobe University researcher has uncovered the purpose of the structure that inspired its name — revealing a novel mechanism by which plants ensure reproduction.

Why do some organisms die immediately after reproducing (some salmon and bamboos, many insects, and all grain crops), while others live on to reproduce repeatedly (most plants and vertebrates)?

Imagine a gene that promotes sexual reproduction, such as by making it more likely that a plant will reproduce via sexually produced seeds as opposed to some asexual process (e.g., budding ...
