UC Davis plant biologists have resolved the structure of proteins vital to energy production in mung beans. Understanding these proteins gives insight into basic plant biology, stress responses, and ...

The work, published in the journal Plant Physiology, describes a new system called “Stomata In-Sight.” The technology ...

Plants exhibit a fascinating diversity of secretory structures that play crucial roles in defence, adhesion, and communication with their environments. These specialised anatomical features, which ...

Plants with more complex water transport structures are more resistant to drought conditions, making them more likely to survive and pass this characteristic on to their offspring. That’s the ...

Carbon–calcium inclusions (CCaI) either as calcium oxalate crystals (CaOx) or amorphous calcium carbonate cystoliths are spread among most photosynthetic organisms. They represent dynamic structures ...

Plants rely on efficient internal transport systems to distribute essential mineral nutrients, yet how this distribution is ...

Romieu and his colleagues describe in the Annals of Botany this month (September 11) tannosomes as small structures that originate within chloroplasts. Thylakoids inside the chloroplast swell, leading ...
