Scientists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory have cracked open the secrets of plant stem cells, mapping key genetic regulators ...

After analyzing thousands of cellular samples, Jackson and colleagues have mapped out two well-known stem cell regulators for ...

Plant stem cells are crucial for the world's food supply, animal feed, and fuel production. They lay the foundation for how ...

Researchers have uncovered key genetic regulators in plant stem cells, offering new insights into crop size and resilience ...

A group of researchers in Japan have made quite the breakthrough. According to a new study published in the Proceedings of the Japan Academy, Series B, these scientists have created solar-powered ...

A new study shows that the behavior of stem cells in plants and animals is surprisingly similar. The researchers were able to produce mathematical equations that reveal very small differences in the ...

Supplies of the crucial molecules ATP and NADPH are lacking in many human diseases, but restoring them requires tight control. Using light-powered thylakoid structures from plants to carefully deliver ...

Chloroplasts, the parts of cells that allow plants and algae to photosynthesize, are thought to have originated more than 1 billion years ago, when photosynthetic cyanobacteria lived symbiotically ...

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 ...

For a new plant to grow from a seed, cells need to divide numerous times. Daughter cells can each take on different tasks and sometimes vary in size. How plants determine the plane of cell division in ...
