Imaging wall-less plant cells every six minutes for 24 hours revealed how the cells build their protective barriers.
Advanced techniques are allowing scientists to witness the process where plant cells generate cellulose fibers.
Plants don't just grow, they build. From towering trees to delicate flowers, complex plant shapes are sculpted with ...
The team recorded 24 hours of the cellular construction process, revealing surprising new details about how plant cell walls ...
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 ...
Rutgers’ biophysicists, bioengineers and plant biologists capture first live images of cellulose construction leading to ...
Yoon's lab specializes in the biology of ethylene, a gaseous plant hormone that plays a key role in responding to environmental stress and fruit ripening. As Yoon and Chien noted in their paper ...
A carbohydrate that is the primary structural component of plant cell walls, cellulose is widely used in industry to make a ...
In a groundbreaking study on the synthesis of cellulose -- a major constituent of all plant cell walls -- a team has captured images of the microscopic process of cell-wall building continuously over ...
A carbohydrate that is the primary structural component of plant cell walls, cellulose is widely used in industry to make a range of products, including paper and clothing. It is also used in ...
