The mechanism by which liverwort (Marchantia polymorpha) asexually reproduces via the development of clonal progenies (gemmae) has been revealed by a cross-institutional research group. They ...

A team led by biologists at The University of Texas at Arlington has published a study supporting the theory that species that reproduce asexually have more harmful genetic mutations than those ...

Asexual, or vegetative, reproduction in plants is controlled by environmental conditions, but the molecular signaling pathways that control this process are poorly understood. Recent research suggests ...

Global Ecology and Biogeography, Vol. 17, No. 1 (Jan., 2008), pp. 50-58 (9 pages) Aim: Local communities are subject to spatiotemporal contingencies of landscape processes; community assembly is thus ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Structure and behaviour of the underground organs of Iris vartani were investigated in connection with the vegetative reproduction of this ...

Evolutionarily speaking, the ultimate goal of a lifeform is to reproduce and stave off extinction. Many plants and animals ...

Plant reproduction is highly complex and variable across the kingdom. The emergence of sexual reproduction has contributed to increase plant genetic diversity and enabled the colonisation of new ...

Conservation scientists for the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance made the surprising discovery while genotyping genetic material from two deceased California condors Two California are currently the ...

Vegetative reproduction from stems, roots and leaves is common to all plants and results in an identical plant from which the cutting came; it’s a clone. As gardeners, we propagate cuttings for many ...
