Flowering plants exhibit a remarkable diversity of pollination mechanisms and breeding systems that underpin their reproductive success and influence ecosystem function. Abiotic vectors such as wind ...

Pollination ecology examines the interactions between flowering plants and their pollen vectors, encompassing the diversity of floral traits, pollinator behaviours and environmental influences that ...

Scientists have solved the mystery of how Amphibolis antarctica, Australia’s strange sea nymph seagrass, reproduces underwater.

Recently, Emma Lavaut and her colleagues from Sorbonne University and Universidad Austral de Chile found that a species of red seaweed, Gracilaria gracilis, uses the isopod crustacean Idotea balthica ...

Researchers found that attractant peptides released by female tissues initiate rapid depolymerization and repolymerization of actin at the leading edge of the pollen tube tip, steering its direction ...

When it comes to reproduction, one type of red algae gets by with a little help from its friends: small sea crustaceans that transport sex cells between male and female algae, like pollen-laden bees ...

A small woodlouse-like crustacean seems to help fertilise red seaweed in rock pools, much as a bee pollinates flowers. This suggests that such behaviour is more common in the oceans than we thought, ...

Weather and timing affect corn pollination success and kernel set, affecting final yield potential. A Purdue Extension ...

Bees are vital to food production through their role in pollination, helping crops grow and reproduce efficiently. This ...

Activity 1 – Tap and find Activity 2 – Flowering plant quiz Activity 3 – Steps of flowering reproduction Activity 4 – Label the sexual organs Unlike animals, plants don’t need a male and a female to ...
