«Our goal is to use comparative genomics approaches to fill in gaps in our understanding of
how plant reproduction works and to define the aspects of the mechanisms we've discovered so far that are either ancient or new innovations.»
Dr Crispin Jordan, of the University of Edinburgh's School of Biological Sciences, who led the study, said: «
Plants and their flowers exist in all shapes and sizes, and our finding that the arrangement of flowers can influence how bees forage might go some way to explaining how plants, which rely on others species to spread pollen, can influence their own reproduction.&
