Two-in-one root armor protects plants from environmental stressors and fights climate change
Scientists have created the first single cell genomic atlas of mature plants' outer armor layer, called the periderm, and its carbon-capturing phellem cells. The findings will be useful in creating ...
Gene-expression study reveals 2-in-1 root armor protects plants from environmental stressors, fights climate change
Plants may burrow into the ground and stretch toward the sun, but they're ultimately stuck where they sprout—at the mercy of ...
Synthetic beads mimic critical process in cell division, opening new paths for biomachines
In a study that could help scientists better understand and manipulate cell division, RIKEN biologists have engineered ...
