Biologists have examined how seed formation is coordinated with fruit growth. They explain the genetic control mechanisms underlying the process. An international team of researchers led by biologists ...

Scientists at Nagoya University in Japan have made a big discovery in plants that reveal the triggers behind seed formation. The team has discovered the first such plant tissue in over 160 years.

Vegetable, fruit, or grain -- the majority of our food results from plant reproduction. Researchers have now discovered the key to how plants regulate pollen growth and seed formation. In addition to ...

Researchers from Pennsylvania State University have developed a new method for effectively modeling seed particles composed of 100–200 atoms using a supercomputer. They found that the temperature and ...

Pollination is an important part of a plant's life cycle Each part of a plant has an important job to do, from the roots to the shoots, to the leaves and even the flower. Flowers aren’t just the part ...

(A) An ovule inserted with a pollen tube that can fertilize. Seed coat formation is observed upon fertilization. (B) An ovule without insertion of a pollen tube. No seed coat formation is observed in ...

If you open up a pea pod, you will find that all of the peas inside are the same size and the same distance apart. The same is true of princess beans, runner beans and soybeans as well as various ...
