Plant cells have several structures not found in other eukaryotes. In particular, organelles called chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the Sun in energy-rich molecules; cell walls ...

Wageningen researchers have discovered that a vital plant protein originated more than 600 million years ago, long before the first plants existed. They traced its origins back to an evolutionary ...

Animal and plant cells differ and they have similarities ... Nucleus - this contains the genetic material (DNA) of the organism and controls the cell’s activities. Cytoplasm - the liquid ...

Markita Landry is the first to admit that the two applications her research addresses – imaging brain chemistry and delivering genetic material into plants – are rather divergent.

2. Describe the components of plant cells and their functions. Most animal cells possess a nucleus, cell membrane, cytoplasm and mitochondria. The nucleus contains the genetic material (DNA ...

As a result, scientists have had to use laborious methods, often using large quantities of plant material ... using a microbial cell factory, to overcome the abundancy challenge.

A study has elucidated the mechanism by which bacterial cellulose mediates plant tissue regeneration. The work has been ...

Iowa State University scientists recently made a significant breakthrough in scientists’ ability to identify specific ...

Researchers have found that Artemisia herba-alba, a medicinal herb, contains compounds capable of fighting colorectal cancer.

The plant material for the study included aerial parts of Artemisia ... The findings show that the extract from Artemisia herba-alba stopped the growth of cancerous cells and caused them to die, ...

Researchers have developed so-called microbial cell factories -- using E ... often using large quantities of plant material, just to obtain enough material to identify them.
