Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol. 35, No. 155 (June 1984), pp. 859-868 (10 pages) An equation is derived expressing average turgor pressure of a leaf (ΨP) as a function of relative water content ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Simple sugars apparently are the biological signals needed to maintain the steel-like strength of plant cell walls, according to Purdue University scientists. "This is a really ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract A cell-wall-degrading activity was solubilized from young cells and from mother cell walls of Chlorella fusca by treatment with LiCl. The ...

The secret of how fiber shapes the structure of plant cell walls has been revealed, with potentially wide-ranging applications ranging from nutrition and health to agriculture. Researchers from The ...

Stanford, CA— Along with photosynthesis, the plant cell wall is one of the features that most set plants apart from animals. A structural molecule called cellulose is necessary for the manufacture of ...

Plant cells are surrounded by an intricately structured protective coat called the cell wall. It’s built of cellulose microfibrils intertwined with polysaccharides like hemicellulose or pectin. We ...

Along with photosynthesis, the plant cell wall is one of the features that most set plants apart from animals. A structural molecule called cellulose is necessary for the manufacture of these walls.

Engineers have created a nanoscale probe they can implant in a cell wall without damaging the wall. The probe could allow researchers to listen in on electrical signals within the cell. That could ...

An international team of scientists based in the Netherlands, and in China, has found that intestinal cells can change specializations during their lives, driven by the BMP signaling pathway, an ...
