Reproduction in the animal kingdom has historically been sexual. Cloning the sheep Dolly in 1997 moved us closer to the possibility of duplicating other animals or humans asexually, but the ...
Also called vegetative propagation, asexual reproduction is a great way to get mature plants faster than growing from seed. Plus, it’s fun and easy. Most plants asexually propagate naturally.
A scientist has moved a step closer to turning sexually-reproducing plants into asexual reproducers, a finding that could have profound implications for agriculture.
Asexual reproduction, in the case of plants, is what we sometimes call vegetative reproduction. This occurs when a plant essentially produces a new individual clone, genetically identical to the ...

Reproduction in humans, animals and many plants usually necessitates both female and male organisms. However, a new joint Tel Aviv University–Freiburg University study says its scientists have ...

If we could find a way to propagate crop plants by asexual reproduction through seeds – known as apomixis – it would revolutionize agriculture.
The reproduction process is essentially the same in humans, animals and most plants. Both female and male organisms are required to contribute to the phenomenon.
Asexual, or vegetative, reproduction in plants is controlled by environmental conditions, but the molecular signaling pathways that control this process are poorly understood. Recent research ...
