Events of gene fusion have been reported in several organisms. However, the general role of gene fusion as part of new gene origination remains unknown.
Climate change and geological events have long been known to shape biodiversity, implying that these can likewise be viewed from a biological perspective.
Poisonous mushrooms are a significant threat to human health, yet contribute to important drug and biomolecule developments.
The length of time a flower remained open (i.e., from anthesis to flower senescence) is called as floral longevity. Floral longevity has been considered one of the most important reproductive traits as it determines opportunities for pollen dispersal and capture of pollen by stigmas as well as has the potential to influence within-plant pollinator foraging and opportunities for geitonogamous se...
