TORONTO, ON (Canada) - New research by scientists at the University of Toronto (U of T) offers novel insights into why and how wind-pollinated plants have evolved from insect-pollinated ancestors.

The Laramie chickensage is unusual among the hundreds of species of sagebrush, most of which are primarily pollinated by the wind. A rare species of sagebrush found only in southeast Wyoming survives ...

Transitions between animal and wind pollination have occurred in many lineages and have been linked to various floral modifications, but these have seldom been assessed in a phylogenetic framework. In ...

I believe most of us have a sense of what genetic engineering is all about — a method of inserting one or more genes of one species or individual into the chromosomes of another to gain a desired ...

A rare species of sagebrush found only in southeast Wyoming survives primarily through pollination by bees, according to new research led by a University of Wyoming graduate student. That makes the ...
