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 ...

Human bodies defend themselves using a diverse population of immune cells that circulate from one organ to another, responding to everything from cuts to colds to cancer. But plants don’t have this ...

Plant growth and development largely depend ... Finally, the PS-ferric iron complexes are transported into root cells by PS-Fe(III) transporters. Interestingly, while both strategies are ...

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 ...

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 ...

Iowa State University scientists recently made a significant breakthrough in scientists’ ability to identify specific ...

But plants don't have this luxury. Because plant cells are immobile, each individual cell is forced to manage its own immunity in addition to its many other responsibilities, like turning sunlight ...
