In a breakthrough with promising real-world applications, a team of Rutgers biophysicists, bioengineers, and plant biologists ...

Plant cells without walls, known as protoplasts, are very fragile, and it has been difficult to keep them alive under a ...

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.

Plant cells have several structures not found in other eukaryotes. In particular, organelles called chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the Sun in energy-rich molecules; cell walls ...

A plant cell wall is arranged in layers and contains cellulose microfibrils, hemicellulose, pectin, lignin, and soluble protein. These components are organized into three major layers: the primary ...

A research team has uncovered the mechanism and underlying reason behind the transformation of residual cells into epidermal ...

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

In a groundbreaking study on the synthesis of cellulose—a major constituent of all plant cell walls—a team of Rutgers University-New Brunswick researchers have captured images of the ...

However, they still require proteins made from instructions in the cell nucleus to function properly ... the functions of a complicated alphabet soup of plant proteins in controlled experiments using ...

Similar to the cells in plant leaves Lobate shapes can also be found in a completely different type of cell -- those on the surfaces of plant leaves. There, their role is to withstand turgor ...
