In a breakthrough study published in Science on Nov. 15, international researchers have identified mechanisms driving ...

Plant cells have several structures not found in other eukaryotes. In particular, organelles called chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the Sun in energy-rich molecules; cell walls ...

Plant cells are also able to become longer as they grow. This process is called cell elongation and occurs throughout the plant, not just in the meristems. Cell elongation does not occur in animals.

Understanding how roots grow can help us develop plants that—for example—are more resistant to drought. Research by Prof.

The chemical energy released by respiration can be used by the plant for cellular activities such as protein synthesis or cell division. The sugar produced by photosynthesis can be converted into ...

Researchers at VIB-UGent uncovered a key phase in root development dubbed "root puberty," regulated by SPL13 transcription ...
