Space to play or pause, M to mute, left and right arrows to seek, up and down arrows for volume. Spencer Barrett works in the field of plant reproductive biology. He explains that plants reproduce ...

Sex in the garden is more straightforward for the birds and the bees than it’s for the plants. Reproductive processes vary among flowering plants; for many, there is more than one option. When ...

You might think flowers don’t have much choice about who they mate with, given they are rooted to the ground and can’t move. But when scientists from Nagoya, Japan used powerful microscopes to study ...
