A research collaboration has demonstrated the function of a genetic pathway for anther development, with this pathway proven in 2019 work to be present widely in the flowering plants that evolved over ...

An interdisciplinary team of researchers from the University of Delaware, the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center and Stanford University have been awarded a four-year, $3.5 million National Science ...

This study is led by Dr. Xiaofeng Cao, and Dr. Xianwei Song (Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences). Grass anthers produce abundant phased small interfering RNAs ...

Flower fertility depends on an exquisite hormonal balance. In lilies, researchers have discovered that two genes—LoBLH6 and LoMYB65—work together to orchestrate this balance and safeguard pollen ...
