A team of researchers led by Prof. Xiao Jun from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB) of the Chinese ...

Mitochondria close mitochondriaTiny parts of cells floating in the cytoplasm where energy is released from glucose. The glucose comes from food. This is how you make a model plant cell.

"Because duckweed is so small, it gives us a model to understand what every cell is doing at a given moment," Cox said. This ...

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.

By this definition, stem cells are particularly important for plant growth, because virtually all tissues of the plant descend from small groups of stem cells located in their growing apices ...

cell and developmental biology at UCLA, engineered the tobacco rattle virus to carry a compact CRISPR-like enzyme called ISYmu1 to target specific DNA sequences in the model mustard plant ...
