Plant cell wall biosynthesis is a complex and tightly regulated process. The composition and the structure of the cell wall should have a certain level of plasticity to ensure dynamic changes upon ...

Imaging wall-less plant cells every six minutes for 24 hours revealed how the cells build their protective barriers.

In a major scientific milestone, a team of researchers has captured the first continuous, real-time footage of cellulose being synthesized and self-assembled into the intricate scaffolding that gives ...

Scientists Witness Plant Cells Generate Cellulose and Form Cell Walls for First Time Advanced techniques are allowing scientists to witness the process where plant cells generate cellulose fibers.

Although plant cell-based bioproduction has advanced considerably during the past several years, certain elements remain largely unexplored.

Stem Cell-Like Approach To Reprogramming Plant Cells Provides New Insights Into Cell Wall Formation Researchers developed a method to turn stripped-down plant cells into xylem tracheary elements.

Additionally, the researchers revealed how the assembly of these structures can go astray in different mutant plant cells, which they said could ultimately inform methods to break down plant cells for ...

Modification of pectin, a component of the plant cell wall, is required to facilitate signaling by a RALF peptide, which is essential for many physiological and developmental processes.

A mutant seedling revealed how plant tissues scatter incoming light, allowing plants to sense its direction and move toward it.

These walls perform three essential tasks: they maintain the structure of the cells and of the plant, abet plant growth and development, and guard against pathogens. Kohorn was led into this area of ...
