How do plants breathe through stomata? Key regulators of stomata are plant vacuoles, fluid-filled organelles bound by a single membrane called the tonoplast. Plant vacuoles are fluid-filled organelles ...

A team of researchers led by the University of California San Diego has discovered a new way to make yeast cells more ...

Lignins—the complex molecules that make plants sturdy and allow them to grow tall—are not as random as once thought. A new ...

This study revealed two independent retrograde pathways: a sorting nexin–mediated pathway (orange) and a core retromer–mediated pathway (blue). In yeast, sorting nexins and the core retromer form a ...
