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

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

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 ...

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.

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

That capacity to open and close pores requires the plant to respond to subtle environmental changes by adjusting the pressure within the cells of the stomata—a complex ability that plants ...
