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 ...

Most research on plant stem cells focuses on the tips of roots and shoots, where growth occurs in height. But biologist ...

Scientists in Japan have created hybrid plant-animal cells, essentially making animal cells that can gain energy from ...

Hamster cells capable of photosynthesis: this could transform medicine. A Japanese team successfully achieved this feat, ...

A new method developed by Penn State biologists allows them to turn stripped-down plant cells into other types of cells, ...

The ability to genetically engineer plants is largely thanks to a microscopic helper: a bacterium called Agrobacterium ...

In an incredible feat that redefines biological boundaries, scientists have successfully engineered animal cells capable of ...

Using a computer model that reveals how plants grow thicker over time, biologists have uncovered how cells are activated to ...

For example, plants need boron, which is taken into the cells by molecules known as the boric acid channel. But how do the ...

Plant cell biology is the study of all aspects of plant cells. It is particularly concerned with structure, growth, division, signalling, differentiation and death of plant cells. The authors ...

Each component of a cell has its own function. Animal and plant cells differ and they have similarities. Nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm and mitochondria are four cell components that are found ...
