Biologists provide evidence for an alternative genetic mechanism that can lead to plants becoming self-pollinators. There are flowering plants that have the ability to self-pollinate, meaning that ...

There are flowering plants that have the ability to self-pollinate, meaning that they can fertilise themselves without a partner. A biological advantage of self-pollination, also known as “selfing”, ...

Olive reproductive biology is marked by a complex interplay between morphological adaptations and genetic self-incompatibility systems, which collectively mediate the process of wind pollination. The ...

Many flowering plants prevent inbreeding and increase genetic diversity by a process called self-incompatibility, in which pollination fails to set seed if the pollen is identified as its own by the ...

Is it true that if you plant hot peppers on the same row as sweet peppers, the sweet pepper plants will cross with the hot peppers and become hot? — William I get variations on this question all the ...

Why have some plant species changed pollinators in their evolution? An international team of researchers studied the reproductive systems of three sister species pairs, where one species is pollinated ...

130 years after a fungus-eating plant received its name, a Kobe University researcher has uncovered the purpose of the ...
