Therefore, the QC must be the source of a signal that prevents differentiation of the root stem cells. Thus plant stem cells depend on the function of other, neighboring, cells to continue ...

Specialised plant cells include root hair cells, palisade cells, xylem cells and phloem cells. Just like animals, plants are made of tiny little cells. Like animal cells, basic plant cells have a ...

"The protective outer layer of plant roots, called the periderm, is made up of many cells that can store carbon in a form that will be very durable. By creating a detailed map of how these root ...

A new tool could make it easier to study scarce plant molecules. Researchers have developed so-called microbial cell factories ... Shoots not roots While 16-OH-CLA has been reported previously ...

People love the taste of sugar beets' primary byproduct: white sugar. Soilborne cyst nematodes—parasitic, microscopic ...

at unprecedented levels using microbial cell factories. By amplifying the production of strigolactones, the researchers now have the ability to study these scarce and mysterious plant molecules in ...
