Finding pollen-free, branching dwarf sunflowers can be a bit more difficult, though. Luckily, a species called the junior ...

What are ways species exchange genes with each other? Hybridization and gene flow are shortcuts to biodiversity that don’t always involve differentiation.

This new information will drive advances in crop improvement, weed control and the development of woody sunflower species as a new biofuel. One of the potential applications of this research includes ...
