This Collection considers original research on asexual reproduction strategies in plants, from studies on their genetic regulation and evolution throughout plant lineages, to its potential for ...

Layering is a type of asexual propagation method where the newly formed plant remains attached to an established parent plant ...

Vegetative propagation is the process of using a portion of vegetation, rather than seeds, to create a new plant. This form of asexual propagation results in a new plant that is genetically ...

Only one parent is needed in asexual reproduction and the offspring are exact copies. Not all plants produce flowers. These are called non-flowering plants. Ferns and mosses are examples of plants ...

(Mutations do create a minor amount of change.) If asexual reproduction survives at all, conditions must sometimes favor it, even in competition for a niche with sexually reproducing species.

Fruit seed is the result of sexual reproduction in plants, which, like human children, are each a unique creation. Asexual propagation of a fruit tree is making a copy of the original that is ...

Likewise, a Coffee Mother Plant Garden (CGP) will serve as the source of scion for propagation. “The DA-NVES emphasizes the use of asexual propagation methods, specifically nodal cutting and grafting ...

Parthenogenesis is a natural form of asexual reproduction in which growth and development of embryos occur without fertilization by sperm. It is generally believed that sexual reproduction leads ...

The finding may offer insight into a long standing question in evolutionary biology about what forces cause species to choose sex over asexual reproduction and vice versa, he said. On paper, ...
