Hidden underground, roots are basically the most undervalued part of a plant. But there is so much more to the important role ...

While there is a relatively good understanding of the cell types that are highly differentiated, such as water-conducting xylem and sugar-conducting phloem, the morphologically similar parenchyma ...

The research identified a new microbe residing in the gut of pests like leafhoppers and plant hoppers-a phloem sucker-as the causative agent of this severe disease. "The microbe is a cell wall ...

Topics to cover Introduction to Biology Cell Structure and Functions Tissues ... Learn the process of water and nutrient transport through xylem and phloem. Focus on learning the structure and ...

SCW is a highly specialized and intricate structure present in select plant cells, particularly those that necessitate enhanced mechanical strength and rigidity, such as xylem, phloem fibers, and ...

This upregulation of PCWDEs is a key part of BPH’s feeding strategy, enabling it to overcome the physical barriers of rice cell walls and gain access to the nutrient-rich phloem sap. Furthermore, ...

Senescent skin cells, often referred to as zombie cells because they have outlived their usefulness without ever quite dying, have existed in the human body as a seeming paradox, causing inflammation ...

For the first time, high-resolution time-lapse videos of tiny bits of living plants show how they assemble their protective cell walls, researchers report March 21 in Science Advances. The image ...

They found that in limpets, the fate of shell-forming cells is specified autonomously, rather than through induction by other cell lineages as previously believed. Mollusks exhibit diverse shell ...

For over 150 years, scientists have known that wounds alter electric fields across skin cells, says cell biologist Min Zhao of the University of California, Davis School of Medicine. But they didn ...
