All cells arise from other cells through the process of cell division. Meiosis is a specialized form of cell division that produces reproductive cells, such as plant and fungal spores and sperm ...

Mitosis and meiosis are two kinds of cell division that are essential to most forms of life on earth. Here we investigate the key differences and similarities between the two processes.

Researchers at the IPK Leibniz Institute have discovered a previously unknown protein that is central to plant reproduction.
