Researchers at the IPK Leibniz Institute have discovered a previously unknown protein that is central to plant reproduction.

All cells arise from other cells through the process of cell division. Meiosis is a specialized form of cell division that produces reproductive cells, such as plant and fungal spores and sperm ...

An international research team has achieved a significant breakthrough in research into the reproduction of dogrose. The ...

Meiosis is a crucial process for sexual reproduction. It produces germ cells with a reduced set of chromosomes (pollen and egg cells in plants), which ...

Nailing down the particulars of how plant cells gear up for and then proceed through meiosis could indicate ways to tip the scales toward more genetic recombination -- or its opposite.

How Cells Divide: Mitosis vs. Meiosis by Rick Groleau As viewed from a human perspective, nature has done some ingenious engineering to overcome some of the obstacles it has faced.

Certain plant species produce seeds that are genetically identical by an asexual process called apomixis — a botanical equivalent to the parthenogenesis found in some animals. The first step in ...

Both mitosis and meiosis play vital roles in genetics and reproduction. Mitosis ensures the continuity of genetic information, allowing cells to grow and repair in a controlled and precise manner.

Just like your day has a routine from day to night, cells have routines of their own. The cell cycle is generally described as consisting of four main phases: G1, S phase, G2 and mitosis (or meiosis).

In this study, Underwood and his team established a system, in which they replace the meiosis by mitosis, a simple cell division, in the most popular vegetable crop plant, the cultivated tomato.

The distinct organization of organelles in the cytoplasm of plant cells undergoing male meiosis had previously been observed 17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25, but little is known about their role or ...
