miRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that regulate gene expression and influence key developmental processes. In plants, these molecules are produced through a multistep biogenesis pathway involving the ...
Scientists at Umeå University have found a way to break open the protective walls of pollen grains – one of the hardest biomaterials in the world – without damaging the inside cell and its components.

Self-incompatibility (SI) is a genetically controlled mechanism that prevents self-fertilization and thus encourages outbreeding and genetic diversity. During pollination, most SI systems utilize cell ...
It cakes our cars in yellow powder every spring and taunts allergy sufferers for months on end, but pollen is more than just plant sperm. New research has determined when pollen comes of age and ...
Flow cytometry is a powerful analytical tool employed in several industries. This article will provide an overview of its use in the field of botany. Flow cytometry measures the chemical and physical ...
