Uncovering the mechanisms behind plant defense signaling can improve strategies to protect crops against disease.

At first glance, plant and animal cells have a lot in common: they’re both highly organized, keep their DNA tucked away in an envelope, and are kinda juicy inside. But plant cells have evolved some ...

For the first time, high-resolution time-lapse videos of tiny bits of living plants show how they assemble their protective cell walls, researchers report March 21 in Science Advances. The image ...

Plant cell-based bioproduction systems are known for producing proteins with proper folding and post-translational modifications that have been used in a handful of approved therapeutics. Widespread ...

In a groundbreaking study on the synthesis of cellulose—a major constituent of all plant cell walls—a team of Rutgers University-New Brunswick researchers have captured images of the microscopic ...
