Phenotypic models of selection are used to predict the ESS (evolutionarily stable strategy) allocation to pollen, seeds and pollination mechanisms (corolla, etc.) as a function of the frequency of ...
Annals of Botany, Vol. 102, No. 6 (December 2008), pp. 1043-1048 (6 pages) • Background and Aims The effect of pollination on flower life span has been widely studied, but so far little attention has ...
Scientists identified a gene responsible for triggering plants to develop fruits and seeds. This finding may help agriculturists bypass pollination altogether for food production, which will be ...
Honeybees, which are not native to the United States, may be outcompeting native bees for pollen. Ed Reschke via Getty Images Honeybees are often heralded as a symbol of biodiversity and a key species ...
130 years after a fungus-eating plant received its name, a researcher has uncovered the purpose of the structure that inspired its name -- revealing a novel mechanism by which plants ensure ...
Pollination by animals contributes to a third of global food production, but little research has been done into the extent to which the identity of pollinators, pollen and crop varieties influence ...
The peptide, named NON-DEFENSIN PEPTIDE ATTRACTANT 1 (NPA1), represents the first non-defensin-type attractant identified in dicots and expands the known diversity of fertilization cues in flowering ...
AMES, Iowa – Soon, it will be time for apple trees to bloom and bear delicious fruit for all to enjoy. But not all apple trees are fruitful. Why are some trees more productive than others? There are ...
Recently, Emma Lavaut and her colleagues from Sorbonne University and Universidad Austral de Chile found that a species of red seaweed, Gracilaria gracilis, uses the isopod crustacean Idotea balthica ...
