Biologists have examined how seed formation is coordinated with fruit growth. They explain the genetic control mechanisms underlying the process. An international team of researchers led by biologists ...

Rice is a staple food crop for more than half the world's population, but most farmers don't grow high-yielding varieties because the seeds are too expensive. Researchers from the University of ...

A research group led by Associate Professor Ryushiro Kasahara at Nagoya University in Japan, identified a genetic sequence in thale cress that is essential for plant reproduction. As this region is ...

Here’s how to keep your mums healthy so they return next year. Deadheading mums encourages root growth and increases the chance of the plant returning next year by preventing seed formation. Plant ...
