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

With intensifying global warming and climate change, drought has become a major threat to global agriculture, impacting crop yields and food security. To survive such adverse events, plants have ...

Once inside the leaf (Fig. 1), microplastics move through spaces between plant cells and can also accumulate inside tiny hair-like structures, called trichomes, on the surface of leaves.

Caught in the act We have the first video of a plant cell wall being built Plant cells without a cell wall are fragile, so it's hard to image its construction.

Imaging wall-less plant cells every six minutes for 24 hours revealed how the cells build their protective barriers.

Scientists witness living plant cells generate cellulose and form cell walls Date: March 22, 2025 Source: Rutgers University Summary: In a groundbreaking study on the synthesis of cellulose -- a ...

In a groundbreaking study on the synthesis of cellulose – a major constituent of all plant cell walls – a team of Rutgers University-New Brunswick researchers has captured images of ...

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?

Similar to humans, plants have an immune system to help defend against parasites and other deleterious infections. The human body is interconnected with cell-to-cell communication to orchestrate an ...
