Channels in plant cell walls, called plasmodesmata, provide molecules with a bridge to move between cells, an essential phenomenon for cellular growth and development. The mystery has long been how ...

The key to three-dimensional plant architecture lies in precise control over the orientation of cell division. Plant cells divide periclinally to grow radially—leading to thickening—while anticlinal ...

However, a new frontier in nanotechnology is beginning to crack this barrier, offering a novel approach to plant engineering that could redefine the field. In recent research, published in Advanced ...

Plants droop and shed their leaves when parched, but with a splash of water, their stems regain strength and their leaves unfurl. This dramatic transformation is a clear signal for us to reach for the ...
