Sexual reproduction, a common mode of reproduction among numerous species, involves gametogenesis in which offspring are produced through fertilization, conjugation, or mating. In plants and animals, ...

Studying plant vegetative reproduction is key to increasing crop yield and for bioengineering. Kobe University research is making progress in studying the genetic regulation of the process in ...

Most male yellow crazy ants carry two separate sets of DNA, resulting from sperm and egg cells that don’t mix their genetic material after fertilisation. This means the males are chimeras – ...
