The leaf veins consist of at least seven distinct cell types, with specific roles in transport, metabolism and signalling. Little is known about the vascular cells in leaves, in particular the ...

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 surface to the sun, ...

Inspired by the cells in leaves that control leaf curvature to regulate water loss, researchers present flat panels that can morph into a stiff, complex 3D structure with a different Gaussian ...

Structure of world's largest single cell is reflected at the molecular level ... This is the frond apex of Caulerpa taxifolia, a single celled organism, producing leaf-like pinnules.

Their size, shape and angles — all affected by cell patterning and growth — can also expose more of their surface to the sun, increasing energy stores and grain production in crops. Epidermal cells on ...
