Flowering strips—pollinator-friendly rows of plants that increase foraging habitat for bees—can help offset pollinator decline but may also bring risks of higher pathogen infection rates for ...

Everyone's heard of the birds and the bees. But that old expression leaves out the flowers that are being fertilized. The fertilization process for flowering plants is particularly complex and ...

Self-incompatibility (SI) is a sophisticated reproductive strategy that prevents self-fertilisation and maintains genetic variability in flowering plants. This mechanism involves highly specific ...

In most alpine and arctic plants there is selection for early flowering because of the short time available to complete seed production before the season terminates. Despite this, some species ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Plants exhibit a range of responses in growth and reproduction to attack by herbivores from loss, to no effect, to overcompensation. We ...

LANZHOU -- Chinese scientists have newly revealed that climate warming reshapes plant seasonal flowering but stabilizes ...

Plants may be stuck in one place, but the world around them is constantly changing. In order to grow and flower at the right ...

Scientists at the Salk Institute have discovered a genetic mechanism for how plants integrate light and temperature ...

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 ...
