Time-lapse of growing tomatillo from seed to plant. It was growing strong and start blooming around 30th day onward. The chosen tomatillo variety is not self-pollination and requires cross-pollination ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Although we’re in the middle of winter, soon we’ll witness the unveiling of springtime and all of its joyous colors: brilliant orange poppies, deep purple iris and vivid yellow tidy tips. And after ...

Olive reproductive biology is marked by a complex interplay between morphological adaptations and genetic self-incompatibility systems, which collectively mediate the process of wind pollination. The ...
