We investigated the effects of plant density on cleistogamous (CL) and chasmogamous (CH) flowering phenology and seed production in a natural Impatiens capensis population, by censusing individually ...

For flowering plants, reproduction is a question of the birds and the bees. Attracting the right pollinator can be a matter ...

Flowering strips -- plants used to augment bee foraging habitats -- can help increase bee reproduction but may also increase pathogen infection rates. Flowering strips -- pollinator-friendly rows of ...

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 ...

Plants lack a germline, express many genes in the haploid phase of the life cycle and have a flexible developmental plan. These features allow stringent selection in the haploid phase against ...

CORVALLIS, Ore., Jan. 3 (UPI) -- A plant preserved in 100 million-year-old amber has revealed the oldest evidence of sexual reproduction in a flowering plant, U.S. and European researchers say.

In a 21-year study conducted in Douglas County, Minnesota, researchers found that scheduled fires synchronized the bloom time of flowering in the prairie plant Echinacea angustifolia, which increased ...
