Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol. 35, No. 155 (June 1984), pp. 859-868 (10 pages) An equation is derived expressing average turgor pressure of a leaf (ΨP) as a function of relative water content ...
The secret of how fiber shapes the structure of plant cell walls has been revealed, with potentially wide-ranging applications ranging from nutrition and health to agriculture. Researchers from The ...
Cell expansion in plants requires cell wall biosynthesis and rearrangement. During periods of rapid elongation, such as during the growth of etiolated hypocotyls and primary root tips, cells respond ...
Plant researchers are providing new insights into basic cell division in plants. The scientists have succeeded in understanding how processes are coordinated that are pivotal in properly separating ...
At lower levels, electrochemical therapy damages cell membranes but does not kill C. auris. When Niepa and Cué Royo tested a ...
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – A Purdue University study has mapped a complex series of pathways that control the shape of plant cells. The findings are an important step toward customizing how plants grow to ...
New research has demonstrated that extracts from plant cell walls can be used to develop sustainable treatments to protect against crop diseases. Crop diseases can be completely devastating in ...
Our bodies are made up of countless cells, and each one is enclosed by a thin layer called the cell membrane. This membrane ...
