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", ...

Many flowering plants prevent inbreeding and increase genetic diversity by a process called self-incompatibility, in which pollination fails to set seed if the pollen is identified as its own by the ...

A study led by Dr. Yin-Zheng Wang (Institute of Botany, the Chinese Academy of Sciences) has found that the stigma of Chirita pumila has movement and proved that the motion is associated with water ...

Why have some plant species changed pollinators in their evolution? An international team of researchers studied the reproductive systems of three sister species pairs, where one species is pollinated ...

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

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 ...
