The glucose comes from food. This is how you make a model plant cell. There are a few things you'll need, a plastic box, a small sealable sandwich bag filled with water, cling film, some peas ...

Plants have two basic immune pathways. First, a pattern recognition receptor (PRR) on the plant cell’s surface recognizes pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) released by invaders—say, the ...

This can cause morphological adaptations, including changes in chlorophyll content and an increased leaf area, as well as a change in the metabolite profile of the plant. Lower UV exposure ... A ...
