Plant Cell Structure Could Hold Key to Cancer Therapies and Improved Crops
Imagine if our bodies could grow new organs throughout our entire lives. Plants do this constantly, thanks to tiny, powerful reservoirs of stem cells. But how do these cells know when to divide, and ...
Ars Technica: We have the first video of a plant cell wall being built
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. We ...
We have the first video of a plant cell wall being built
Traffic lights signal to cars and buses when to stop, slow and go. Much like traffic lights, plant cells send signals to each other to perform photosynthesis to grow or fight off destructive viruses ...
EurekAlert!: Scientists witness living plant cells generate cellulose and form cell walls for the first time
Scientists witness living plant cells generate cellulose and form cell walls for the first time
MSN: Friendly bacteria can unlock hidden metabolic pathways in plant cell cultures
More than a decade ago, plant geneticists noticed something peculiar when they looked at grafted plants. Where two plants grew together, the cells of each plant showed signs of having picked up ...
