Plant reproductive development, spanning flowering, pollination, fertilization, and seed formation, is orchestrated through the integration of genetic, epigenetic, hormonal, and environmental cues.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have emerged as critical regulators of plant reproductive processes, extending far beyond their traditional role as damaging by-products of metabolism. In flowering ...

Genetic conditions often result from inherited mutations passed down from one or both parents. In an inherited genetic disorder, a mutated gene is transmitted from a parent. 3 Recent developments have ...

From invisible wafts of diesel exhaust to sun-choking plumes of orange smoke, air pollution is known to damage respiratory well-being. Now, research suggests another reason to hold our breath: ...

Two hormone-like compounds linked to the consumption of soy-based foods can cause irreversible changes in the structure of the brain, resulting in early-onset puberty and symptoms of advanced ...

New research has mapped the cell types that specialise to form reproductive organs in both sexes, identifying key genes and signals that drive this process. The findings offer important insights into ...
