Scientists reveal new plant cell walls can have significantly different mechanical properties compared to surrounding parental cell walls, enabling cells to change their local shape and influence the ...

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 ...

A new method developed by Penn State biologists allows them to turn stripped-down plant cells into other types of cells, ...

However, a new frontier in nanotechnology is beginning to crack this barrier, offering a novel approach to plant engineering that could redefine the field. In recent research, published in Advanced ...

In a groundbreaking study on the synthesis of cellulose—a major constituent of all plant cell walls—a team of Rutgers University-New Brunswick researchers have captured images of the microscopic ...

Plant cell walls, composed primarily of cellulose, hemicellulose and pectins, serve as dynamic structures that not only provide mechanical strength and protection but also regulate growth, ...

Every time a stem cell divides, one daughter cell remains a stem cell while the other takes off on its own developmental journey. But both daughter cells require specific and different cellular ...

Missing the beginning of the film. The film explores the structure and function of plant and animal cells using a microscope. It begins with observing onion cells, highlighting their components such ...

Plant Cell Walls Can Control Growth in the Dark To maintain an energy-saving growth strategy in the absence of light, seedlings need signals generated by pectin in their cell walls.

Imagine if our bodies could grow new organs throughout our entire lives. Plants do this constantly, thanks to the tiny, powerful reservoirs of stem cells. But how do these cells know when to divide, ...
