Specific components in plant cells can be easily imaged thanks to a series of new fluorescent dyes Figure 1: A color-enhanced transmission electron micrograph of spinach leaf mesophyll. The cell walls ...

Scientists have identified three different signals that indicate damage to chloroplasts -- the photosynthetic factories of plant cells that give plants their green color -- but little is known ...

Regulating the flow of protons across the chloroplast and modulating the activity of its CFo-CF1 adenosine triphosphate (ATP) ...

Two-color live-cell imaging showed that traffic along the actin network flows in two directions - toward the tip and toward the base. New material is delivered via this network to maintain new wall ...

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 ...

A team of expert scientists led by Kirk Czymmek, PhD, director of the Advanced Bioimaging Laboratory at the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center and Heather E. McFarlane, assistant professor at the ...

Researchers from the University of Freiburg have identified the HAN molecule as an important regulator that controls plant growth in conjunction with WOX5. Understanding this mechanism is relevant ...
