The peas represent chloroplasts and the grape represents the nucleus. Plant cells have the same four components in animal cells but have these extra three as well: Cell wall close cell wallThe ...

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 ...

Only the two-photon images show how the protein LEC-is concentrated within small vesicles around the plant cell nucleus of Brassica napus (rapeseed). This is interesting in connection with the ...

The film explores the structure and function of plant and animal cells using a microscope. It begins with observing onion cells, highlighting their components such as the cell wall, nucleus ...

Plant cells are surrounded by an intricately structured protective coat called the cell wall. It’s built of cellulose microfibrils intertwined with polysaccharides like hemicellulose or pectin.

Plant roots are exposed to a diverse range of soil-dwelling microbial “friends” and “foes.” Here, via single-nucleus RNA-seq, the authors reveal cell type-specific responses to beneficial ...

Furthermore, the institute's research focuses on the interactions between the genomes of mitochondria and chloroplasts and the one of the cell nucleus, as well as on the investigation of epigenetic ...

A new part of an ocean plant cell has been discovered that might revolutionize farming one day. The structure can take nitrogen and convert it into the ingredient that helps all organisms grow.
