But for those of us who either lack square footage, or flat surface area to display our beloved plant collection, it can be ...

Photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts; cell walls allow plants to have strong, upright structures; and vacuoles help regulate how cells handle water and storage of other molecules.

Bordered pits are cavities in the thick secondary cell walls of both vessels and tracheids that are essential components in the water-transport system of higher plants. The pit membrane ...

In this study, we explore how these unique cell walls are assembled in healthy plant cells and also how this process goes ...

The first U.S. newspaper printed on paper made from trees was an edition of the Boston Weekly Journal published in January ...

Using a couple of boards, some plant propagation test tubes, and plants that propagate in water that you probably already ...

One mural in south London was nearly wiped out when a drug lab exploded next door, but as Alex Marshall explains, there are many more on walls around the world. In 1997, Dominic Swords ...

The McBaine Water Treatment Plant's current output is 14 million gallons per day. Improvements aim to get it back to its 32 ...

In pure water, the cell contents (the cytoplasm and vacuole) push against the cell wall and the cell becomes turgid . Fully turgid cells support the stems of non-woody plants. In a very ...

Xylem tracheary elements (XTEs) are a type of cell that allow water to move from a plant's roots to its leaves and have remarkably thick cell walls. Unlike in other cells, Pfaff said, polymers ...

A new method developed by Penn State biologists allows them to turn stripped-down plant cells into other types of cells, similar to the way stem cells differentiate into different cell types.
