Sex secrets of the plant kingdom

From giant lobelias to microscopic spores, Dr Martin Burd built a fascinating career researching plant reproduction. Join Dr Burd for an engaging look at the sex life of plants: what 'male' and 'female' mean to a biologist and how this works in plants; why flowers are pretty and what that has to do with maleness and femaleness; about the gender war in the plant kingdom and the interesting ways different species have evolved to reproduce and survive.About Martin Burd...
