The team recorded 24 hours of the cellular construction process, revealing surprising new details about how plant cell walls ...

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

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

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 ...

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 ...

Gilroy, S. & Trewavas, A. Signal processing and transduction in plant cells: the end of the beginning? Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology 2, 307–314 (2001) doi:10.1038/35067109. Surpin ...
