The contribution of Ennos (1994) pioneered the spatially explicit analysis of movement patterns in plants, as the ability to dissect the pollen and seed contributions to gene dispersal represents a ...

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, ...

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 ...

In an unusual test of a conservation strategy called wildlife corridors, strips of habitat boosted insect movement, plant pollination, and seed dispersal among patches of the same ecosystem. Theory ...

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 ...

Researchers have developed low-pollen tree saplings that could ease or even erase the suffering of tens of millions of people ...

Unlike many plants considered invasive, fennel does everything it can to ingratiate itself into the garden. Its leaves are attractive -- feathery and delicate -- and the umbrella-shaped blooms of ...

Seeds are more likely than pollen to spread genes from genetically-modified sugar beet into wild relatives, researchers have warned. Previously, concern about the leakage of genes from GM crops into ...
