Starch and oils are known as storehouses of carbon in plants. However, the way in which carbon resources are allocated during metabolism in plants remained unknown. Now, however, using a forward ...

Cellulose, the most abundant biopolymer, is utilized to make a wide range of products like clothes and paper. Also, it helps ...

In a breakthrough with promising real-world applications, a team of Rutgers biophysicists, bioengineers, and plant biologists has captured the first live images. In a groundbreaking study, researchers ...

MIT engineers engineered bacteria to produce hyperspectral signals that can be detected as far as 90 meters away. Their work could lead to the development of bacterial sensors for agricultural and ...

Opaque solar cells are known to induce shade avoidance syndrome in plants. This can cause morphological adaptations, including changes in chlorophyll content and an increased leaf area, as well as a ...

Nevertheless, such observations are complex─they require delicate samples kept in the liquid phase, low electron dose, and proper cell viability verification methods. Despite being highly demanding, ...

Some of the microscopes on this list are for the very smallest of children, designed to be toys but with working microscope functions. Others are real scientific instruments, ideal for older ...

These are the best microscopes for students and young scientists, offering professional functionality without breaking the bank. Our guide to the best microscopes for students includes a range of ...

However, they still require proteins made from instructions in the cell nucleus to function properly ... who is also a member of the Purdue Center for Plant Biology. "This discovery deepens ...

First recognised as such in 2009, condensates have in fact been seen by cell biologists for almost 200 years as microscopic blobs that were given vague names such as speckles, granules and bodies.

By mapping patterns on a cellular level, Thompson is connecting how microscopic changes in cells shape the overall health of a person. I study T cells, a type of white blood cell that plays an ...

The microscope-generated video images show protoplasts -- cells with their walls removed -- of cabbage's cousin, the flowering plant Arabidopsis, chaotically sprouting filaments of cellulose ...
