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 ...

Plant cells without walls, known as protoplasts, are very fragile, and it has been difficult to keep them alive under a ...

A research team has uncovered the mechanism and underlying reason behind the transformation of residual cells into epidermal ...

In a breakthrough with promising real-world applications, a team of Rutgers biophysicists, bioengineers, and plant biologists has captured the first live images. In a groundbreaking study, researchers ...

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 have captured images of the ...

Plant vs Animal Cells: Lysosomes Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles that are found within cells. Their main role is to break down proteins, acids, large molecules, and unwanted materials ...

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

Similar to the cells in plant leaves Lobate shapes can also be found in a completely different type of cell -- those on the surfaces of plant leaves. There, their role is to withstand turgor ...

A greenhouse with a perovskite solar cell rooftop led to faster growth and larger leaves in radicchio seedlings ...

A recent study showcases the power of CRISPR gene editing to significantly boost the production of resveratrol, a ...

The microscope-generated video images show protoplasts – cells with their walls removed – of cabbage’s cousin, the flowering plant Arabidopsis, chaotically sprouting filaments of cellulose ...
