A study suggests a new model for how glutamate receptor-like proteins (GLRs) function in plant cells. Working with Arabidopsis thaliana pollen cells, the researchers found that GLRs form the basis ...

A previously unknown structure discovered in our cells could pave the way toward new treatments for various genetic disorders ...

Animal and plant cells can be visualised using a model. Find out how to make them with Bitesize. For students between the ages of 11 and 14. ... All cells have specific structures, ...

Plants grow from something unexpected—carbon drawn in through tiny pores called stomata. At Stanford, researchers are ...

A team from the University of Illinois has quantified the plant cell properties in two C4 species, including cell shape, chloroplast size, and distribution of cell-to-cell connections called ...

Expansin's action has puzzling implications for plant cell-wall structure. ... Van der Knaap, E. & Cho, H. T. Deepwater rice: A model plant to study stem elongation. Plant Physiol. 118, 1105 ...

Nanoparticles can, in theory, deliver cargo directly to a leaf’s interior and then break down safely. Scientists suspected ...

Prior to using this narrative, have learners create their own model of a cell in their notebooks using whatever background information or experience they might have. While exploring the narrative, ...

So, Lam’s team developed their own, custom-built imaging platform. The cells that star in the team’s wall-building video were protoplasts of Arabidopsis, a small flowering plant belonging to ...

Back-to-back papers in the Dec. 29 issue of Nature Plants report the first complete protein structures for plant respiratory supercomplex I+III2. Obtaining these structures helps researchers ...
