We have known what plant cells look like without their walls, and we know what they look like when the walls are fully assembled, but we’ve never seen the wall-building process in action.

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

Plant cells are armored with a stiff cell wall, so “my image of a plant cell was the cytoplasm sitting in a cage, and nobody goes anywhere,” Maliga said. The genetic evidence for transfers posed a ...

The findings were published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) this week (6 October 2023). Compared to animal cells, plant cells are enclosed by a rigid box -- the cell wall.

A plant cell wall's unique ability to expand without weakening or breaking -- a quality required for plant growth -- is due to the movement of its cellulose skeleton, according to new research ...

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 has captured images of ...

Kohorn, an accomplished scientist with many published articles, has made discoveries that have influenced the world of plant science. But in the case of his new research, he credits his laboratory ...

New research has demonstrated that extracts from plant cell walls can be used to develop sustainable treatments to protect against crop diseases. Crop diseases can be completely devastating in ...

Background and Aims Stomatal morphology and function have remained largely conserved throughout ~400 million years of plant evolution. However, plant cell wall composition has evolved and changed.
