Living plant cells regenerate their protective cell walls under a microscope, providing the first high-resolution time-lapse videos of the assembly process.

Plant cell wall growth is typically described as a simple process, but researchers using a microscope that can resolve images on the nanoscale level have observed something more complex.

Plant cells without walls, known as protoplasts, are very fragile, and it has been difficult to keep them alive under a microscope for the several hours needed for them to build walls.

The microscope-generated video images show protoplasts—cells with their walls removed—of cabbage's cousin, the flowering plant Arabidopsis, chaotically sprouting filaments of cellulose fibers ...

Kessler has been observing plant cells and the patterns they make under the microscope for the past 10 years, as well as capturing their beauty on camera using a variety of microscropic techniques.

Leiden physicists are helping Wageningen plant researchers to study unpredictable plant embryos. For this, they are using a novel two-photon fluorescence microscope, aided by a 30 thousand euro ZonMW ...
