Using a new method to isolate and reprogram plant cells into other cell types, biologists explored how banding patterns that increase the stability of plant cell walls are created and how their ...

A mutant seedling revealed how plant tissues scatter incoming light, allowing plants to sense its direction and move toward it. On a shelf lined with terra cotta pots, herbs bend their stems toward ...

Scientists from Institute of Science Tokyo (Science Tokyo), Japan, have mapped the mechanism by which the DAY-LENGTH-DEPENDENT DELAYED-GREENING1 (DLDG1) protein influences non-photochemical quenching.

Banding patterns of cellulose increase the stability of plant cell walls, much like the corrugated patterns in cardboard. Penn State biologists developed a method to isolate plant cells and observe ...
