A surge of pollen in spring can affect the formation of clouds and rainfall, according to a new study. The authors say that, as the planet warms, pollen counts are expected to grow, potentially giving ...

North Carolina State University researchers have successfully transferred an important gene from one compartment of a plant cell to another to produce tobacco plants that lack pollen and viable seeds, ...

miRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression and influence key developmental processes. In plants, these molecules are produced through a multistep biogenesis pathway involving the ...

RALEIGH – North Carolina State University researchers have successfully transferred an important gene from one compartment of a plant cell to another to produce tobacco plants that lack pollen and ...

• Premise of the study: Although rewarding orchids are believed to have a high pollination efficiency, pollination success is often low, suggesting that rewarding orchids may be prone to pollen ...

Flower fertility depends on an exquisite hormonal balance. In lilies, researchers have discovered that two genes—LoBLH6 and ...

1. A central focus of ecology is to understand the conditions under which biotic interactions affect species' abundance and distribution. Classic and recent studies have shown that biotic interactions ...

Tom Chastain’s leaky eyes and nose always let him know it’s peak pollen season. The sun was shining Thursday, June 23 after double the average spring precipitation brought drought-quenching rain to ...
