A new tool could make it easier to study scarce plant molecules. Researchers have developed so-called microbial cell factories -- using E. coli and yeast -- to produce a special class of plant ...

By co-culturing these two hosts, researchers created a microbial cell factory that ... looked for 16-OH-CLA in plants, they only detected it in the shoots and not the roots, unlike all the other ...

"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 ...

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 ...

A groundbreaking imaging method for tracking salt inside plant cells has rewritten knowledge of how roots handle toxic levels of sodium ions. The findings might aid efforts to boost plant ...

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 ...

Iowa State University scientists recently made a significant breakthrough in scientists’ ability to identify specific ...
