Asexual, or vegetative, reproduction in plants is controlled by environmental conditions, but the molecular signaling pathways that control this process are poorly understood. Recent research suggests ...

Evolutionary biologists at the University of Toronto have found that environment plays a key role in determining whether a species opts for sexual over asexual reproduction. The study, led by ...

Even though seed propagation is the most popular form of plant reproduction, several plant forms can develop without seeds. This form of plant development is referred to as vegetative or asexual ...

(Santa Barbara, Calif.) Why are most organisms sexual? The question of why most species reproduce sexually and others reproduce asexually has stymied biologists for years (particularly since asexual ...

Vegetative reproduction from stems, roots and leaves is common to all plants and results in an identical plant from which the cutting came; it’s a clone. As gardeners, we propagate cuttings for many ...

Question: What is it about plants that makes it possible for you to grow them from a cutting rather than having to always start them from seed? I’m planning to expand my garden this season and want to ...

Plant reproduction is highly complex and variable across the kingdom. The emergence of sexual reproduction has contributed to increase plant genetic diversity and enabled the colonisation of new ...

Lord Howe Island is an isolated high latitude reef representing the southern limit of reef-building coral distribution on the East Coast of Australia. It is located over 600 km from the mainland coast ...

Stick insects that reproduce asexually cannot adapt as quickly in the course of evolution as sexually reproducing species, leading to a decrease in biological diversity, according to new research. An ...

Premise of the Study: Perennial grasses maintain aboveground tiller populations through vegetative reproduction via below-ground buds and sexual reproduction via seed. The maintenance of a bud bank ...
