Shoot apical meristems produce stem tissues, produce leaves, and produce flowers. Cell proliferation characteristics of meristems are dependent upon cell maturation processes and the functions of ...

In the intricate architecture of plant tissues, beauty often emerges from chaos, according to new research from Cornell ...

Owing to recent advances, plant vascular developmental can now be described from early specification during embryogenesis up to late differentiation events. Plant vascular tissues display both ...

An inter-university research group has succeeded in constructing the gene expression network behind the vascular development process in plants. They achieved this by performing bioinformatics analysis ...

Asymmetrically transported auxin-efflux carriers cause a polarized flow of auxin, which leads to the formation of continuous columns of procambial cells. In addition, one or more ...

Plants transport water in pipe-like structures made of dead and empty cells within a vascular tissue called xylem. A researcher concludes in his doctoral dissertation that different cell types work ...

The freezing characteristics and development of cell tension during extracellular freezing were examined in supercooling stem tissues of riverbank grapes (Vitis riparia) and cold-hardened leaves of ...

Průhonice, Czech Republic - The green world that we live in would not have been possible without hidden changes to the plant body over the last 400 million years. To grow beyond just centimetres tall ...
