Research from UChicago dissects how a single genetic switch helps butterflies mimic wing patterns of other species to protect ...

UC Davis graduate student Jeffrey Groh has discovered how walnut trees are able to produce flowers of different sexes at different times in the same season. The genetic mechanism is similar to sex ...

UC Davis scientists discovered how walnut trees switch between male and female flowering, a trait that’s been stable for 40 million years. The trees’ “sex timing” depends on two ancient gene variants ...

The genetics behind the alternating sexes of walnut trees has been revealed by biologists at the University of California, Davis. The research, published Jan. 3 in Science, reveals a mechanism that ...
