Scientists have discovered a sexual reproduction process in microalgae that helps them better understand algae and plant evolution. Their discovery could lead to new industrial applications for ...

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Toxic algae -- already a summer plague of Lake Erie and hundreds of shallow inland lakes -- might be even more dangerous than first believed. A team of biologists and ...

Tokyo [Japan], December 30 (ANI): Researchers' understanding of the evolution of algae and plants has been improved by their discovery of the sexual reproduction process in microalgae. Their discovery ...

The familiar notion of the separate male and female sexes exhibited by animal and plant species is based in part on the anatomically and genetically distinct gametes, sperm and egg, produced by ...

A UNSW Australia-led team of researchers has identified genes that allow some algae living in corals to tolerate higher ocean temperatures than others. The genes could act as markers to understand the ...

Heat turns on sex genes in algae, Canadian and American researchers have found. The multicellular algae Volvox carteri normally spend their lives in ponds reproducing asexually as either male or ...

Green algae represent a diverse group of organisms whose evolutionary history is central to our understanding of plant terrestrialisation. Foundational work has demonstrated that a major evolutionary ...
