The discovery of an unknown organelle inside our cells could open the door to new treatments for devastating inherited ...

Plant cells have several structures not found in other eukaryotes. In particular, organelles called chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the Sun in energy-rich molecules; cell walls ...

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

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 ...

Chloroplast . This double-membraned plant organelle in is similar in some ways to the mitochondria of animal cells. The outer membrane of the chloroplast is freely permeable to small molecules via ...

Hyperspectral imaging has provided an insight into how cells organize and prioritize organelle growth.

In a study published January 1 in Science Advances, researchers demonstrated that entire organelles can move between plant cells, bringing their genomes along for the ride. In the studies before this ...

So, this is unlikely to have a major impact on life on Earth any time soon, barring a science-fiction future in which we understand the system well enough to engineer plant cells to host ...

Plant vacuoles are ubiquitous organelles that are essential to multiple aspects of plant growth, maintenance and development. ... Plant Cell Rep 17, 917–920 (1998) Yamamoto, Y. et al.

While plant cells have obvious differences to those of animals, all of us with complex – eukaryotic – cells have a Golgi apparatus ‘post office’ within each one.

Plants’ ability to sense light and temperature, and their ability to adapt to climate change, hinges on free-forming structures in their cells whose function was, until now, a mystery. For the first ...

Last week, when French researchers unveiled a newly discovered plant organelle related to wine and tea, I waited for frenetic coverage. And waited. Only a few obscure wine websites covered the news.
