Rye pollen has been demonstrated to able to slow tumour growth in animal models of cancer. To understand more about this, chemists have determined the 3D structure of the bioactive molecules in rye ...

Premise of research. Family relationships in the monocot order Liliales have been revised recently, so that the order now consists of 10 families of geophytes and climbers, with unusually diverse ...

Pollen morphology—the study of the size, shape, wall structure and aperture patterns of pollen grains—provides an essential window into the evolution and diversification of flowering plants. The outer ...

The approach combines scanning electron microscopy with a computer vision model and a web-based application to automatically classify pollen grains based on their microscopic surface features. Its ...

Nearly three decades ago, scientists found that a pair of molecules in rye pollen exhibited an unusual ability to slow tumor growth in animal models of cancer. But progress stalled for one seemingly ...
