Using a new method to isolate and reprogram plant cells into other cell types, biologists explored how banding patterns that increase the stability of plant cell walls are created and how their ...

Iowa State University scientists have made a significant breakthrough in scientists' ability to identify specific proteins within individual plant cells. Professor Justin Walley and Christian Montes, ...

Imagine if our bodies could grow new organs throughout our entire lives. Plants do this constantly, thanks to tiny, powerful reservoirs of stem cells. But how do these cells know when to divide, and ...

Scientists have created a new atlas of plant cells during immune response, in turn discovering a new rare cell state, called Primary IMmunE Responder (PRIMER), that acts as an immune response hub to ...

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

Similar to humans, plants have an immune system to help defend against parasites and other deleterious infections. The human body is interconnected with cell-to-cell communication to orchestrate an ...

Mutations drive evolution, but they can also be risky. New research led by plant biologists at UC Davis, published Nov. 10 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, reveals how plants ...

LA JOLLA (August 19, 2025)—Nearly everything you know about plants was first discovered in a plant you’ve likely never heard of. Arabidopsis thaliana, also known as thale cress, is a small, flowering ...

Integrating scRNA-seq with other omics approaches for a comprehensive understanding of plant biology We encourage both original research articles and comprehensive reviews that contribute to this ...
