There are hopes that a new bull brought to the Rothbury Estate will boost wildlife will create favourable conditions for a whole host of wildlife. A two-year-old red Luing bull, named Casanova, has ...

Through his breeding experiments with pea plants, Mendel established three ... the potential combinations of parental alleles in the offspring is to align the alleles in a grid called a Punnett ...

When Mendel bred a tall plant to a short one, all of the offspring were always tall, never blending to medium size. When he then bred those offspring together, three out of four of their offspring ...

Only one parent is needed in asexual reproduction and the offspring are exact copies. Not all plants produce flowers. These are called non-flowering plants. Ferns and mosses are examples of plants ...

Research examines how lectins, oxalates, and phytates in plant foods may impact nutrients and health—balancing benefits ...

It was the world's most famous houseplant that has sat on the mantel on the Oval Office since the JFK administration. But ...

which means that each plant had two different alleles at a particular genetic position. He discovered that the traits in the offspring of his crosses did not always match the traits in the ...

When plants self-fertilised, these characteristics remained consistent in the offspring. At the time, it was widely believed that heredity worked by blending the characteristics of parents ...

A recently published article in the journal Weed Science demonstrates just how devasting Palmer amaranth (Amaranthus palmeri) ...

Plant biotechnologies play an important role in mutation breeding. Plant tissue culture techniques are powerful tools in shortening the time needed to generate breeding mutant lines (those that always ...
