New research reveals how repeated genetic changes in Hibiscus flowers have led to the loss of visually striking bullseye ...

New study shows hibiscus flowers lost bullseye patterns through repeated gene changes, despite bee preference.

Did you know flowers are good for your health? Studies show that giving, receiving, smelling, and looking at flowers can reduce stress levels and boost your mood. That's pretty amazing!

Flowers may grow with perfect symmetry, but new research from Cornell University reveals that their gene activity is ...

She found that the pre-pattern begins as a small, crescent-shaped region long before the bullseye is visible on tiny petals ...

Flowers grow stems, leaves and petals in a perfect pattern again and again. A new study shows that even in this precise, patterned formation in plants, gene activity inside individual cells is far ...

"Our findings suggest that flowers don't need to evolve too many different petal colours, because they can use patterns to diversify their displays so bees can tell them apart from other flowers." One ...

Unlike the smooth contours of other flowers, the originally curved petals of roses end up forming polygons with straight edges ...

"We found that bumblebees clearly prefer flowers with large ... "By tracing the genetics behind these petal patterns, we're beginning to understand how relatively simple mutations can lead ...
