Plant reproductive complexity increased in two, widely separated pulses likely driven by important evolutionary innovations, including the origin of seeds and flowers, according to a new study. These ...

PREMISE OF THE STUDY:Reproduction in many crop species is impaired above 30° to 35°C; however, the sensitivity of reproduction in the natural flora remains uncertain. Studies focusing on the effect of ...

Researchers have shed light on the reproductive role of 'dark matter' DNA - non-coding DNA sequences that previously seemed to have no function. Their findings have revealed that a specific non-coding ...
