The way we study plant cells is expanding—literally—thanks to new research from Kevin Cox, an assistant professor of biology ...

By suppressing CDF4, HAN allows the stem cells in the root meristem to remain undifferentiated and continue dividing." The team used molecular biology methods as well as mathematical modeling.

Researchers have, for the first time, introduced genetic material into plants via their roots, opening a potential pathway for rapid crop improvement.

Missing the beginning of the film. The film explores the structure and function of plant and animal cells using a microscope.

Plant propagation is essentially creating new plants from existing ones. Luckily, many houseplants are easy to propagate.

1. The initial formation of the root hair is indicated by a general swelling of the outer wall of the epidermal cell. 2. The swelling is produced if the physical resistance of the wall is overbalanced ...

2005) endodermis - a single layer of cells enclosing the vascular tissue of the root (Raven et al. 1999) exudates - compounds released into the soil/rhizosphere by plant roots (Walker et al.

On the left, a young Arabidopsis plant is shown ... In the center of the root meristem, a small group of cells called the quiescent center (blue) are surrounded by stem cells (red), whose ...

Specialised plant cells include root hair cells, palisade cells, xylem cells and phloem cells. Just like animals, plants are made of tiny little cells. Like animal cells, basic plant cells have a ...
