Reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced naturally during cellular metabolism often cause oxidative damage to cells. However, ...

Scientists have created a new atlas of plant cells during immune response, in turn discovering a new rare cell state, called Primary IMmunE Responder (PRIMER), that acts as an immune response hub to ...

Research has shed intriguing new light on the genetics underlying the diverse plant organ shapes seen in agriculture and ...

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. We ...

Scientists from the Department of Experimental Plant Biology at the Faculty of Science of Charles University have published research in Nature Plants that brings new insights into the function of the ...

Traffic lights signal to cars and buses when to stop, slow and go. Much like traffic lights, plant cells send signals to each other to perform photosynthesis to grow or fight off destructive viruses ...

Scientists say they have built a cell from scratch for the first time that feeds, grows and replicates like a natural cell, a ...

Plant immunity research has undergone a transformative shift with the advent of spatial and single-cell technologies, ...

At first glance, plant and animal cells have a lot in common: they’re both highly organized, keep their DNA tucked away in an envelope, and are kinda juicy inside. But plant cells have evolved some ...
