Through tissue culture techniques, we can replicate the process of vascular bundle development in a petri dish, allowing us to observe the key factors involved in the fate determination of plant ...

Pits on these tracheids (black) allow water to pass in and out of the cells and into the vascular system. Tracheid cells move water and mineral nutrients from the roots throughout the plant.

Plants with more vascular bundles are stronger and more resistant to wind. This knowledge could be used to intentionally generate sturdier cultivars with the overexpression mutation.

Plant vascular cells originate from procambial cells, which are vascular stem cells. Recent studies with Zinnia elegans cell culture and Arabidopsis thaliana mutants indicate that intercellular ...

Light transmitted from the shoot to the roots activates photoreceptors in the roots and triggers light-dependent growth responses in plants, scientists have discovered.

Researchers create electronic rose complete with wires and supercapacitors Taking advantage of natural plant physiology to grow electronics.

The second group consists of three double placental bundles, which originate from the fusing of a two-dimensional group of bundles underneath the carpels. This group of bundles arises from a network ...

In early plants, which reached just a few centimeters and lived only in wet environments, the xylem worked like a simple cylindrical bundle of drinking straws running up the stem; our modern ...

Cells work tightly together to form the water-conducting vascular tissue of plants Date: February 25, 2016 Source: Umeå universitet Summary: Plants transport water in pipe-like structures made of ...

It stays in the vascular bundle, in the pseudostem,” plant pathologist Vladimir Ivan Dodongan said, explaining how fungus attacks bananas. The vascular vessels of a plant are important for ...
