Nanoparticles can, in theory, deliver cargo directly to a leaf’s interior and then break down safely. Scientists suspected ...

In a discovery three decades in the making, scientists at Rutgers and Brookhaven National Laboratory have acquired detailed knowledge about the internal structures and mode of regulation for a ...

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 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.

An international research team has achieved a significant breakthrough in research into the reproduction of dogrose. The ...

Purdue researchers study link between cells and yield, genome-editing startup launches, new biofungicides to enter market, ...

The image sequences provide new insights into how this cell structure forms, which could lead to innovations in plant-derived products such as renewable biofuels. Cell walls are made mostly of ...

Rodgers & Hammerstein could have been describing the Berkshires when they wrote “June Is Bustin’ Out All Over.” ...

Opaque solar cells are known to induce shade avoidance syndrome in plants. This can cause morphological adaptations, including changes in chlorophyll content and an increased leaf area, as well as a ...

It carries nutrients picked up from the surrounding soil and feeds the plant cells for healthy growth. If you have a soil test taken for your garden, you know that there may be amendments to be ...
