Plant cells have several structures not found in other eukaryotes. In particular, organelles called chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the Sun in energy-rich molecules; cell walls ...

Each component of a cell has its own function. Animal and plant cells differ and they have similarities. Nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm and mitochondria are four cell components that are found ...

Plant cell biology is the study of all aspects of plant cells. It is particularly concerned with structure, growth, division, signalling, differentiation and death of plant cells. The authors ...

Scientists in Japan have created hybrid plant-animal cells, essentially making animal cells that can gain energy from ...

Aside from being seem as "alien" material, the chloroplasts themselves struggle to function in the environment of an animal cell. "Almost all algae and plant species photosynthesize under 30 ...

If stem cells were able to multiply uncontrollably, this would lead to uncontrolled growth, as in the case of cancer. WOX5 is an important signaling molecule that regulates stem cells in the meristem.

Major topics include plant responses to light, carbon dioxide levels, mineral nutrition and abiotic and biotic stresses such as drought and pests. Emphasis is on mechanisms by which changes in the ...

A team has clarified how in plants the boric acid channels, the conduits for the necessary element boron, are transported to the plasma membrane.

Botanists have come to understand the channels and transporters involved in the uptake and transport of nutrients, yet how ...

When Dodell-Feder tested this vacuum, it was a pricey $179 — now, at 45% off, it's down to what appears to be its best price ...

Production of the solar cell plant in Hawassa, Ethiopia, is expected to start at the end of Q1 2025. Image: Toyo Solar. Japanese cell and module manufacturer Toyo Solar plans to build a 2GW solar ...
