Specialized cells found only on flower petals have the same basic function as nonslip mats that prevent people from slipping in the shower, a new study has determined. The bumpy cells, called conical ...

A plant cell wall is arranged in layers and contains cellulose microfibrils, hemicellulose, pectin, lignin, and soluble protein. These components are organized into three major layers: the primary ...

Plant regeneration relies on a delicate balance between stem cell renewal and differentiation, yet the evolutionary origin and functional limits of key regulators remain poorly understood. This study ...

Every day all over the world, researchers work with artificial cell membranes. Despite the fact that they are so widely used, they still hold secrets. Now researchers reveal how beautiful flower ...
