Plant and animal cells are both extremely important to the survival of millions of species and without them, life couldn’t ...

With intensifying global warming and climate change, drought has become a major threat to global agriculture, impacting crop ...

In plant cells, the largest organelle by far is the so-called vacuole. Enveloped by a membrane, it stores substances vital for the plant cell -- for example, ...

But plant cells have evolved some wild features that set them apart from animal cells. In this episode of Crash Course Botany, we’ll ask: are plants more than the sum of their cells?

A newly discovered pathway in a plant process could help farmers grow more successful crops, particularly in places where ...

There are three major classes of plant cells that can then differentiate to form the tissue structures of roots, stems, and leaves. (The three distinct types of plant cells are classified ...

Plant cells can’t move around, so to deal with infection they use a different defense strategy: they cut their losses. When a plant senses that it’s under attack by microbial invaders, cells at the ...

Plant cell walls have a special ability to expand without breaking or weakening, which is crucial for plant growth. New research has shown that the cellulose skeleton of the plant cell wall is what ...

While plant cells have obvious differences to those of animals, all of us with complex – eukaryotic – cells have a Golgi apparatus ‘post office’ within each one.

The principles applied to the culture of microbial cells apply also to plant cells, although cell densities and growth rates are lower 31.The growth rates of microbial cultures range from 0.1 h ...

Plant cell-based bioproduction systems are known for producing proteins with proper folding and post-translational modifications that have been used in a handful of approved therapeutics.
