Purdue University scientists have discovered a key mechanism that regulates how plants develop chloroplasts, essential ...

The macromolecular organization of photosynthetic complexes within the thylakoids of higher plant chloroplasts has been a topic of significant debate. Using in situ cryo-electron tomography, this ...

That process, called carbon fixation, resulted in the assembly of two three-carbon molecules called 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA ...

An insect ecology professor at the University of Kentucky explored her research on how bacteria affects spider reproduction ...

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 ...

In a groundbreaking study on the synthesis of cellulose -- a major constituent of all plant cell walls -- a team has captured images of the microscopic process of cell-wall building continuously over ...

Advanced techniques are allowing scientists to witness the process where plant cells generate cellulose fibers.

The team recorded 24 hours of the cellular construction process, revealing surprising new details about how plant cell walls ...

The cells that make up the walls of the finest of all lymphatic vessels have a lobate, oak leaf-like shape that makes them particularly resilient to changes in fluid volume. A similar cell shape also ...

In a world increasingly aware of the environmental impact of fossil fuels, researchers are embarking on a venture to find ...
