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 a breakthrough with promising real-world applications, a team of Rutgers biophysicists, bioengineers, and plant biologists ...

New research challenges the view that proteins are the only key to evolution, highlighting the importance of lipids.

Plant vs Animal Cells: Lysosomes Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles that are found within cells. Their main role is to break down proteins, acids, large molecules, and unwanted materials ...

More insight into the process could improve crop productivity WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue University scientists have discovered a key mechanism that regulates how plants develop chloroplasts, ...

Hydrogen fuel cells convert hydrogen and oxygen into electricity, heat, and water. Because this conversion process doesn't ...

Plant cell biology is the study of all aspects of plant cells. It is particularly concerned with structure, growth, division, signalling, differentiation and death of plant cells. By inducible and ...

New evidence shows plant leaves absorb airborne microplastics, a previously overlooked route for the particles to enter crops ...

The image sequences provide new insights into how this cell structure forms, which could lead to innovations in plant-derived products such as renewable biofuels. Cell walls are made mostly of ...

To explore this, we conducted subcellular localization analyses of candidate proteins involved in cell wall degradation and found that some of these enzymes are localized at the plasma membrane. This ...
