Hybrid crops with all the traits of their parents
Researchers of the MPIPZ have developed a technique that enables the breeding of genetically identical hybrid plants
Buried treasure: a plant that makes flowers and fruits underground
Researchers describe the unusual trait of amphicarpy, where two types of fruit develop on the same plant: one above- and the other below-ground.
Changes in the shape of the shoot apex are synchronized with floral transition in Arabidopsis
In a new study published in Nature Communications, researchers from the group of George Coupland at the Max-Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research in Cologne, Germany, show that the reciprocal repression of two genes at the plant apex synchronises changes in meristem shape with the floral transition in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana.
