Petal size is a defining trait of ornamental flowers, directly shaping visual appeal and commercial value. A new study uncovers how petal expansion in roses is precisely regulated through a feedback ...
Max Planck researchers identify the crucial protein for controlling the biosynthesis of steroidal glycoalkaloids and saponins in plants of the genus Solanum and for the first time demonstrate the ...
Artistic rendering of cellulose regenerating on a plant protoplast cell surface with zoomed out view. Cellulose is synthesized by plasma membrane-bound enzyme complexes (green) and assembles into a ...
Cellulose - an integral component of plant cell walls - is an important source of food, paper, textiles and biofuels, but how its creation is regulated within plant cells has remained unclear. Now, a ...
A team has identified a protein that modifies the cellular machinery responsible for producing cellulose, which could inform the design of more stable, cellulose-enriched materials for biofuels and ...

Scientists witness living plant cells generate cellulose and form cell walls for the first time
In a groundbreaking study on the synthesis of cellulose—a major constituent of all plant cell walls—a team of Rutgers University-New Brunswick researchers have captured images of the microscopic ...
