In this episode, we’ll learn about Gregor Mendel, who used pea plants to study genetics. All of the different plants on Earth—from mango trees to marigolds—have come about thanks to the simple rules ...
The scientific name of pea plant is Pisum sativum. Discover the pea plant's botanical name and its Fabaceae family.
The Plant Cell, Vol. 6, No. 6 (Jun., 1994), pp. 777-787 (11 pages) Pea seed-borne mosaic virus (PSbMV), a seed-transmitted virus in pea and other legumes, invades pea embryos early in development.
Gregor Mendel discovered fundamental rules of genetics by raising pea plants. He realized that hidden factors — we now know them to be genes — were passed down from parents to offspring. It wasn’t ...
Farmers across the world produce between 10 and 13 million tons of field pea every year. That makes it a top legume crop, just behind dry beans and chickpeas. But as the global climate changes and ...
Dennis M. Reinecke, Aruna D. Wickramarathna, Jocelyn A. Ozga, Leonid V. Kurepin, Alena L. Jin, Allen G. Good and Richard P. Pharis Gibberellins (GAs) are key modulators of plant growth and development ...
Insects that feed on starch can find veritable feasts in corn, pea, and bean crops or warehouses. It is no coincidence that the ancestors of these commercial plants developed α-amylase inhibitor ...
Researchers are one step closer to understanding how some plants survive without nitrogen. Their work could eventually reduce ...
