Discovery of expanding pectin nanofilaments that manipulate plant cell shapes Date: February 27, 2020 Source: University of Cambridge Summary: Scientists have discovered new filamentous structures ...

Living plant cells regenerate their protective cell walls under a microscope, providing the first high-resolution time-lapse videos of the assembly process.

Plant cell wall growth is typically described as a simple process, but researchers using a microscope that can resolve images on the nanoscale level have observed something more complex.

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. Jacek Krywko – Apr 4, 2025 1:37 pm | 33 ...

Scientists studying plant cell walls have discovered details of a protein involved in the assembly of lignin, a key cell-wall component. The protein acts as a targeted 'electron shuttle ...
