These meristems contain stem cells that divide as needed and form new cells that develop into specialized tissue. Using the ...

A new method developed by Penn State biologists allows them to turn stripped-down plant cells into other types of cells, ...

Using a computer model that reveals how plants grow thicker over time, biologists have uncovered how cells are activated to ...

Plants grow taller and wider with cambium stem cells, supporting strength, stability, and environmental resilience.

Rice leaf veins are essential for plants' growth and development. They help support the leaves and transport important ...

They therefore support the plant. Dissolved sugars and amino acids can be transported both up and down the stem. Companion cells, adjacent to the sieve tubes provide energy required to transport ...

“Immortalized cells,” they explain, is not a scientific term but a shorthand to refer to “cells that can keep growing for longer than is normal for their cell type,” including most stem ...

Using a computer model that reveals how plants grow thicker over time, biologists have uncovered how cells are activated to produce wood tissue. Understanding the genetic and molecular signals behind ...

A new method developed by Penn State biologists allows them to turn stripped-down plant cells into other types of cells, similar to the way stem cells differentiate into different cell types.

These meristems contain stem cells that divide as needed and form new cells that develop into specialised tissue. Using the example of plant roots, researchers from Freiburg have now been able to ...
