The work, which exploits a natural process where plant cells die on purpose to help the host plant stay healthy, is expected ...

New research from the Sainsbury Laboratory at the University of Cambridge has shed light on how plants precisely control ...

UK-based startup Green Bioactives is preparing for the commercial launch of high-value botanicals made via plant cell culture ...

A research team has revealed the molecular steps that led to the emergence of this plant-specific vacuolar transport system. Their work shows that the acquisition of this pathway was driven by the ...

The timing of plants' root placement is due to autophagy, the recycling pathway many people associate with health benefits from fasting.

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.

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 ...

Plant cells also contain large vacuoles and chloroplasts. Each organelle performs a specific function critical to the cell's survival (Table 1).

Cells are tiny but inside that tiny structure are more tiny structures, and different cells have different functions to make your body ... Both animal and plant cells have vacuoles which control water ...

The vacuole within a plant cell can sometimes take up to 90% of it ... However, plant cells still contain microtubules. No, plant cells vary by location, function, type, and even by individual plant ...
