Rosalind Franklin, James Watson and Francis Crick discovered the structure of DNA -- that molecular blueprint for life -- ...

A study described the three-dimensional architecture of turtle genomes, which fold in a configuration unlike any other animal observed so far.

You probably learned about organelles, those little “organs” inside cells that form compartments with individual functions. For example, mitochondria produce energy, lysosomes recycle waste ...

Aside from being seem as "alien" material, the chloroplasts themselves struggle to function in the environment of an animal cell. "Almost all algae and plant species photosynthesize under 30 ...

Animal and plant cells have different energy-producing structures inside them. For animals, that’s mitochondria , which convert chemical energy from food into a form that our cells can use.

A new method developed by Penn State biologists allows them to turn stripped-down plant cells into other types of cells, similar to the way stem cells differentiate into different cell types.

For example, plants need boron, which is taken into the cells by molecules known as the boric acid channel. But how do the proteins that form the channel make it to the plasma membrane?

2024年10月9日，《植物细胞（The Plant Cell）》在线发表了中国农业科学院深圳农业基因组研究所（岭南现代农业科学与技术广东省实验室深圳分中心）汪泉课题组的研究论文，题为“OsKANADI1 and OsYABBY5 regulate rice plant height by targeting GIBERELLIN 2-OXIDASE6”，该研究揭示了 ...
