This is called photosynthesis. The basic structure of a plant cell is shown below. Photosynthesis relies on many structures in the cell all working together, each playing its role. The diagram ...

Plant cells have certain distinguishing features, including chloroplasts, cell walls, and intracellular vacuoles. Photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts; cell walls allow plants to have strong ...

Plants droop and shed their leaves when parched, but with a splash of water, their stems regain strength and their leaves ...

Plants have two basic immune pathways. First, a pattern recognition receptor (PRR) on the plant cell’s surface recognizes pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) released by invaders—say, the ...

Plant cell biology is the study of all aspects ... encoded by two splice variants and their cooperative condensation characteristics in heat tolerance.

Wageningen researchers have discovered that a vital plant protein originated more than 600 million years ago, long before the ...

Scientists have discovered that a crucial protein found in plants, called auxin response factor (ARF) first arose about 600 ...

Scientists have created a new atlas of plant cells during immune response, in turn discovering a new rare cell state, called Primary IMmunE Responder (PRIMER), that acts as an immune response hub ...

What do cells, genes, mutations, transposons, RNA silencing, and DNA recombination have in common? All were discovered first in plants. It sounds grandiose, but it’s true, and plant biologists delight ...

We’re not trying to replace or even compete with agriculture; we're closing the gap between demand and supply," says the CEO ...

A new mini-review published in the Journal of Bioresources and Bioproducts examines how environmental factors, particularly ...

Most animal cells range in size from 10 - 50 μm, and plant cells from 10 - 100 μm. The human eye can see objects as small as 50 μm. We require a microscope to see cells in further detail.
