Researchers at Washington University in St. Louis (MO, USA) have used rainbow yeast and hyperspectral imaging to gain insights into how organelles grow in eukaryotic cells. The coordination of ...

In this article, you’ll learn how eukaryotic cells operate, providing a solid foundation for understanding how life functions ...

Plant cell walls (CWs) with complex macromol. structures can surround and protect cells from a variety of harsh environmental conditions such as pathogens, herbivores, and trace metals. Here, a novel ...

These observations led Wilson to conclude that “the living protoplasm” contains numerous liquid droplets that vary in their “chemical nature.” 1 Despite having been overlooked for the last century, ...

We have investigated the capability of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) to penetrate the cell wall and cell membrane of intact plant cells. Confocal fluorescence images revealed the cellular ...

But new research, led by the University of California, Riverside, shows that once those particles enter a plant cell, they can change in unexpected ways and interfere with the plant’s ability to ...

A groundbreaking scientific discovery may soon transform the agricultural industry. With support from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), researchers uncovered the first nitrogen-fixing ...

Lam has studied the process at the heart of the enzyme's pivotal role in plant health—a phenomenon known as programmed cell death or cell suicide—for the past 30 years.
