A research team has uncovered the mechanism and underlying reason behind the transformation of residual cells into epidermal ...

The opaque nature of these solar cells can block sunlight reaching plants and hinder their growth. As such, there’s a need for ... as well as a change in the metabolite profile of the plant. Lower UV ...

Experiments showing that a new carrot plant can be produced from ordinarily nongrowing cells of the root provide clues about what causes and inhibits growth in living ...

In a breakthrough with promising real-world applications, a team of Rutgers biophysicists, bioengineers, and plant biologists ...

The image sequences provide new insights into how this cell structure forms, which could lead to innovations in plant-derived products such as renewable biofuels. Cell walls are made mostly of ...

The jigsaw-shape cells found in the epidermis of many plants may serve to reduce mechanical stress on cell walls. Genomic analysis of an oak tree that lived during Napoleon’s time supports the idea ...

"Understanding how brassinosteroid signaling operates in relation to the cell cycle opens new avenues to manipulate plant ...

Plant cell biology is the study of all aspects of plant cells. It is particularly concerned with structure, growth, division, signalling, differentiation and death of plant cells. A study on rice ...

Plant cells are surrounded by an intricately structured protective coat called the cell wall. It’s built of cellulose microfibrils intertwined with polysaccharides like hemicellulose or pectin.

Extracts made from parts of the cashew plant that are usually thrown away when the nuts are processed commercially were found to significantly limit the development of fat cells and the ...

His research focuses on the actin cytoskeleton and plant cell growth and morphogenesis. His love for the microscopic world started in childhood, when he got his first toy microscope and tried to shoot ...
