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 ...

For the first time, high-resolution time-lapse videos of tiny bits of living plants show how they assemble their protective cell walls, researchers report March 21 in Science Advances. The image ...

Plant Cell Cycle is the complex series of events which take place in plant cells between the end of one cycle of division and the end of the next. The process involves growth of a plant cell and ...

A research team at the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology has successfully combined single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and single-cell mass spectrometry (scMS) analysis on the same plant ...

Researchers take a big step in showing efficacy of bioprinting plant cells to study cellular communication and viability in a controlled environment. A new study from North Carolina State University ...

Optimal packing problems have inspired mathematicians for centuries. Biophysicists now add a layer to the question: How do ...

Directed evolution is a laboratory technique that mimics natural selection and allows scientists to evolve genes and the proteins they encode. Traditionally, this technique has been used in microbes, ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Leaves are the primary plant organs responsible for photosynthesis. Their size, shape and angles — all affected by cell patterning and growth — can also expose more of their ...

New research has demonstrated that extracts from plant cell walls can be used to develop sustainable treatments to protect against crop diseases. Crop diseases can be completely devastating in ...

DURHAM, N.C. -- The “deathbed rally,” the “last hurrah” -- it’s not unheard of for living things to mysteriously perk up in the moments before death. It turns out that plants do it too, at least at ...
