Signals from the plant cell wall help to orchestrate growth, reproduction and immune function. Can harnessing this molecular ...

Prior to using this narrative, have learners create their own model of a cell in their notebooks using whatever background information or experience they might have. While exploring the narrative, ...

Plant a seed and, if the conditions are right, the seed grows. The process seems simple enough at first glance and is something many of us may feel like we learned in elementary school.

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

Scientists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory have cracked open the secrets of plant stem cells, mapping key genetic regulators in maize and Arabidopsis. By using single-cell RNA sequencing, they ...

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 ...

Lignins—the complex molecules that make plants sturdy and allow them to grow tall—are not as random as once thought. A new international study led by Prof. Edouard Pesquet at Stockholm University ...

A new part of an ocean plant cell has been discovered that might revolutionize farming one day. The structure can take nitrogen and convert it into the ingredient that helps all organisms grow. We're ...

Researchers have developed synthetic genes that function like the genes in living cells. The artificial genes can build intracellular structures through a cascading sequence that builds ...
