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

New evidence shows plant leaves absorb airborne microplastics, a previously overlooked route for the particles to enter crops ...

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 ...

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

Plant vs Animal Cells: Lysosomes Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles that are found within cells. Their main role is to break down proteins, acids, large molecules, and unwanted materials ...

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 ...

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

Imaging wall-less plant cells every six minutes for 24 hours revealed how the cells build their protective barriers.

A powerful new toolkit for plant biology Although ExPOSE is currently used to study individual cells, Cox envisions an even ...

A greenhouse with a perovskite solar cell rooftop led to faster growth and larger leaves in radicchio seedlings ...
