Flower arranging is an art, and once a few basic principles are learned, adding other flowers to the arrangement to create a spectacular display gets easier.

It makes great sense many plants flower when the insects and birds so vital to their reproductive success are also getting busier (and getting busy).

Abstract: For realizing electronic plant family retrieval of Angiosperm in Inner Mongolia, taking 10 plant families as example, we developed a Plant Family Retrieval System based on SILK software and ...

Could it be that one of only three known markers directly targeting the DNA does not exist outside the realm of microbes? Now, researchers led by Xiaoqi Feng at the Institute of Science and Technology ...

International Journal of Plant Sciences, Vol. 169, No. 1, Special Issue Major Evolutionary Transitions in Flowering Plant Reproduction Edited by Spencer C. H. Barrett (January 2008), pp. 157-168 (12 ...

Angiosperms display an enormous diversity of forms, functions and strategies when it comes to reproduction. This multiplicity has been translated into several terminological concepts and contexts, ...

Across plants and animals, host-associated microbial communities play fundamental roles in host nutrition, development, and immunity. The factors that shape host–microbiome interactions are poorly ...

This valuable paper examines gene expression differences between male and female individuals over the course of flower development in the dioecious angiosperm Trichosantes pilosa. Male-biased genes ...

Angiosperms are spermatophyte plants with flowers, in which the female gametophytes, residing inside the ovules, are also enclosed in an ovary. In turn, floral presentation is often accompanied by ...

Sex in the garden is more straightforward for the birds and the bees than it’s for the plants. Reproductive processes vary among flowering plants; for many, there is more than one option. When ...

In a not too distant future to come, it will be necessary to increase the production per hectare of cultivated plants to cope with the increasing world population and the gradual deterioration of ...
