Wageningen researchers have discovered that a vital plant protein originated more than 600 million years ago, long before the ...

Scientists have discovered that a crucial protein found in plants, called auxin response factor (ARF) first arose about 600 ...

This structure is so important because it is the site at which the cell's DNA is housed and the process of interpreting it begins. Recall that DNA contains the information required to build ...

What do cells, genes, mutations, transposons, RNA silencing, and DNA recombination have in common? All were discovered first in plants. It sounds grandiose, but it’s true, and plant biologists delight ...

Plants droop and shed their leaves when parched, but with a splash of water, their stems regain strength and their leaves ...

The finding, published Dec. 20 in Plant Cell, was co-authored by Cornell researchers ... organization and folding of DNA, but this paper is the first to demonstrate that a linker histone is ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have created a new atlas of plant cells during immune response, in turn discovering a new rare cell state, called Primary IMmunE Responder (PRIMER), that acts as an immune response hub ...
