Researchers have uncovered genetic changes behind the timing of plants’ transition from leaf growth to reproduction, akin to “puberty.” This discovery reveals variations in developmental timing even under identical conditions. Understanding these genetic factors could enhance crop uniformity and nutrition,…

Researchers discovered female-only populations of brown algae, called "Amazons," that reproduce asexually through parthenogenesis. These algae thrive without males, losing traits like pheromone production and evolving larger gametes. The study offers insights into the genetic and phenotypic changes during the…

A new study reveals how different plant species tackle genome doubling, offering insights into cancer. By studying how polyploid plants manage extra DNA, researchers found similarities with polyploid cancers, particularly gliomas. Targeting specific molecules like CENP-E, crucial in both plants…
