Watch the incredible transformation of a strawberry plant in this detailed 36-day time-lapse video. From budding leaves and ...
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 plants need to be pollinated to produce fruits or seeds to make more plants. But if pollinators are scarce in your area or you're growing fruit-bearing plants indoors, hand-pollinating is ...
Many plants and crops rely on insects to pollinate them so they can reproduce. A new study has shown that several flowering plants from the group Euonymus are pollinated by fungus gnats, a dipteran ...
An analysis of plant–pollinator interactions reveals that the presence of abundant plant species favours the pollination of rare species. Such asymmetric facilitation might promote the coexistence of ...
Scientists offer novel insights into why and how wind-pollinated plants have evolved from insect-pollinated ancestors, and what it might mean for a potential pollination crisis. They found that plants ...
The Third Annual Texas Pollinator BioBlitz has concluded for 2018. What was this BioBlitz? This was an event in which people all over the state of Texas ventured outdoors and took photo observations ...
You can't see it, but different substances in the petals of flowers create a "bulls-eye" for pollinating insects, according to a Clemson University scientist whose research sheds light on chemical ...
Researchers may have discovered the first example of a frog that pollinates flowering plants. By Sofia Quaglia On warm evenings near Rio de Janeiro, you might find milk fruit trees covered in brownish ...
The words “pollination” and “flower” may seem inseparable, but plants began courting insects millions of years before they evolved flashy petals. Now we know how they may have done it: not with ...
Hand-pollinating plants is a simple process that guarantees successful fruit development. Many plants need to be pollinated to produce fruits or seeds to make more plants. But if pollinators are ...
