Biologists provide evidence for an alternative genetic mechanism that can lead to plants becoming self-pollinators. There are flowering plants that have the ability to self-pollinate, meaning that ...

There are flowering plants that have the ability to self-pollinate, meaning that they can fertilize themselves without a partner. A biological advantage of self-pollination, also known as "selfing", ...

Jujube breeding has long been held back by a problem of timing. Its flowers are small and short-lived, pollen and stigma ...

Self-pollinating plants have male and female parts, allowing the pollen to travel from the anther in the stamen to the stigma in the pistil. These plants can be fertilized without the help of ...

A research team including Ingolf Steffan-Dewenter's Department of Animal Ecology and Tropical Biology has investigated how the cultivation of cacao can be improved by using the right pollination ...
