Imagine if our bodies could grow new organs throughout our entire lives. Plants do this constantly, thanks to tiny, powerful ...

From morning glories spiraling up fence posts to grape vines corkscrewing through arbors, twisted growth is a problem-solving ...

Plant cells are surrounded by an intricately structured protective coat called the cell wall. It’s built of cellulose microfibrils intertwined with polysaccharides like hemicellulose or pectin. We ...

In a groundbreaking study on the synthesis of cellulose -- a major constituent of all plant cell walls -- a team has captured images of the microscopic process of cell-wall building continuously over ...

Plants form a critical model for understanding regulated cell death (RCD) as part of their sophisticated immune responses. In the ongoing evolutionary arms ...

Agriculture, from the outset, has been made possible by humans tweaking the genes of plants to make them grow faster, produce ...

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 ...

Scientists in Japan have created hybrid plant-animal cells, essentially making animal cells that can gain energy from sunlight like plants. The breakthrough could have major benefits for growing ...

Shift Bioscience (Shift), a biotechnology company uncovering the biology of cell rejuvenation to end the morbidity and mortality of aging, today announced the release of new research detailing an ...

A new study shows that machine-learning models can accurately predict daily crop transpiration using direct plant ...
