Plant cells have several structures not found in other eukaryotes. In particular, organelles called chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the Sun in energy-rich molecules; cell walls ...

Plant cells without walls, known as protoplasts, are very fragile, and it has been difficult to keep them alive under a ...

Each component of a cell has its own function. Animal and plant cells differ and they have similarities. Nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm and mitochondria are four cell components that are found ...

By this definition, stem cells are particularly important for plant growth, because virtually all tissues of the plant descend from small groups of stem cells located in their growing apices ...

in 1886 Leo Errera noted that bubbles in soap resembled dividing cells. He thought the shape of the bubbles could predict where plant cells would divide, and by 1888 he had formulated a rule saying ...

A research team has uncovered the mechanism and underlying reason behind the transformation of residual cells into epidermal ... valuable insights into plant survival strategies and growth ...

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 has captured images of the ...

Opaque solar cells are known to induce shade avoidance syndrome in plants. This can cause morphological adaptations, including changes in chlorophyll content and an increased leaf area, as well as a ...
