Expansins are a diverse family of cell wall proteins that modulate the loosening and extension of plant cell walls, thereby facilitating growth, differentiation, and development. These proteins ...

Plant growth relies on hormone movement, directed by PIN proteins. New research shows SEC3A, part of the exocyst complex, is ...

As sessile organisms, plants are incredibly mindful of their time. As a result, they extensively regulate cellular and physiological processes through a combination of circadian (anticipatory) and ...

Scientists have discovered that a molecule known for defending animal immune systems called itaconate also plays a powerful role in plants. Researchers showed that itaconate not only exists in plant ...

A professor of plant molecular biology wants people to know that plants have stem cells too. Just like in the medical world, plant stem cells could support human growth and development when used to ...

What makes plants grow to a certain size? From the tiniest cells to whole leaves, roots, and stems, growth has to be carefully coordinated—but until now, it has been hard to compare findings from ...

In most plants and animals, including humans, mitochondria are inherited exclusively, or nearly exclusively, from the mother.
