2 Next, Mizuta hopes to identify the molecular mediator of this repelling system, unveiling another mystery of plant fertilization.

So, whether you’re growing one in a container or in the border, learning how to fertilize passion flowers properly is the key ...

This discovery is expected to lead to advances in research to improve plant fertilization efficiency as well as carbohydrate chemistry for plants. Nagoya, Japan - Dr. Akane Mizukami and Professor ...

In a sample of 4,000 flowers, rates of self-fertilization went from around 50% for the flowers collected two to three decades beforehand to roughly 80% for their naturally occurring descendants ...

Flowering plants face a problem that we mammals are thankfully spared: how to avoid self-fertilization and, hence, inbreeding. To look at a flower, autopollination might seem inevitable--the long ...

a star-shaped flowering plant from the Peruvian Andes with an unusual skill set. These plants can gymnastically wave around their stamens — the organs they use for fertilization — to maximize ...

This discovery is expected to lead to advances in research to improve plant fertilization efficiency as well as carbohydrate chemistry for plants. A group of scientists at Nagoya University has ...
