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 ...

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

By combining high-resolution genomic data with AI, researchers are uncovering the regulatory logic plants use to sense and survive environmental stress.

A new hybrid microscope for the first time allows scientists to simultaneously image the full 3D orientation and position of an ensemble of molecules, such as labeled proteins inside cells. (Nanowerk ...

Researchers discovered that immune-related proteins form membrane-bound rings that help regulate cell death signals, ensuring ...
