In contrast to animals, plants continuously ... spatial control of the cell cycle. Cell-cycle activation in quiescent cells is correlated with a change in chromatin structure and requires the ...

Animal cells and plant cells can form tissues, such as muscle tissue in animals. A living tissue is made from a group of cells with a similar structure and function, which all work together to do ...

A new tool could make it easier to study scarce plant molecules. Researchers have developed so-called microbial cell factories -- using E. coli and yeast -- to produce a special class of plant ...

Scientists have created a new atlas of plant cells during immune response, in turn discovering a new rare cell state, called Primary IMmunE Responder (PRIMER), that acts as an immune response hub to ...

Aphelandra are popular houseplants found around the world and are often called Brazilian zebra plants. Researchers dubbed this new species ‘black-souled’ because it’s center heartwood is black. This ...

As an embryo grows, there is a continuous stream of communication between cells to form tissues and organs. Cells need to read numerous cues from their environment, and these may be chemical or ...

Plant cell biology is the study of all aspects of plant cells. It is particularly concerned with structure, growth, division, signalling, differentiation and death of plant cells ...
