Climate change is affecting when and how violets reproduce

By Isabel Botany, Climate change, News

Violets reproduce both sexually, through cross-pollination of the showy flowers we're familiar with; and asexually, by self-seeding of less noticeable flowers that remain hidden near the base of the plant. This is called "mixed mating." Although environmental factors drive how much a…
