Plants have a life cycle split between two multicellular stages: a haploid stage—with cells containing one set of chromosomes—and a diploid …
Seed structures are composed of a protective seed coat surrounding a plant embryo, and a food store for the developing embryo. The embryo contains the …
Fruits form from a mature flower ovary. As seeds develop from the ovules contained within, the ovary wall undergoes a series of complex changes to form …
Asexual reproduction allows plants to reproduce without growing flowers, attracting pollinators, or dispersing seeds. Offspring are genetically identical …
Plant tissue culture is widely used in both primary and applied science. Applications range from plant development studies to functional gene studies, …
Crop cultivation has a long history in human civilization, with records showing the cultivation of cereal plants beginning at around 8000 BC. This early …
It is becoming common for plant scientists to develop projects that require the genotyping of large numbers of plants. The first step in any genotyping …
The Direct PCR approach facilitates PCR amplification directly from small amounts of unpurified samples, and is demonstrated here for several plant and …
An experimental design mimicking natural plant-microbe interactions is very important to delineate the complex plant-microbe signaling processes. …
