Abstract Plant cell walls contain a meshwork of cellulose fibers embedded into a matrix of other carbohydrate and non-carbohydrate-based biopolymers. This composite material exhibits extraordinary ...

We have the first video of a plant cell wall being built Plant cells without a cell wall are fragile, so it's hard to image its construction.

Purdue University scientists have discovered a key mechanism that regulates how plants develop chloroplasts, essential structures responsible for the photosynthesis that sustains life on Earth by ...

WOX5 is a homeodomain transcription factor that regulates function of the quiescent center (QC) - the stem cell organizer in the Arabidopsis root. Here, analysis of the WOX5-dependent transcriptional ...

Avoid waste and clearly identify your plants and flowers with this environmentally conscious gardening hack that turns discarded plastic containers into labels.

Jung-Youn Lee, a University of Delaware professor of plant molecular and cellular biology and the interim director of the Delaware Biotechnology Institute, is researching cell-to-cell communication in ...

Protein function annotation is an important content of bioinformatics. It is unrealistic to experimentally annotate a large number of protein functions, so automated prediction of the functions of ...
