Scientists have discovered that endoreduplication, which promotes cellular enlargement in the epidermal tissue of Arabidopsis thaliana, occurs randomly as a Poisson process throughout cellular ...

Despite the observation, first made by von Mohl in 1856, that epidermal cells greatly influence stomatal aperture, subsequent studies have failed to pay adequate attention to epidermal cell viability ...

A combined system has been developed in which epidermal cell turgor, leaf water potential, and gas exchange were determined for transpiring leaves of Tradescantia virginiana L. Uniform and stable ...

The discovery of the mechanics and molecular mechanism that dictate cell shape formation in plants by a team of McGill researchers offers new clues about the fundamental processes governing tissue ...

Just like in yeast and animal cells, vacuoles in plants are responsible for breaking down unwanted cellular components. At ...

A boy who had lost most of his epidermis is back to school and playing soccer 2 years after receiving "life-saving regeneration of virtually the entire epidermis" with genetically modified autologous ...

One of the central questions in biology is how a cell specifies its size. Because size distribution often shows a characteristically skewed pattern in a tissue, there may be some stochastic option for ...
