In a new study recently published in Nature Plants, University of Saskatchewan (USask) researchers took a deeper look into how plants control the growth of the important cells that allow them to ...
Researchers at The Australian National University (ANU) have uncovered a mechanism that helps plants continue ...
Leaves are beautifully specialized organs designed to maximize the use of light and COâ‚‚ for photosynthesis. Engineering leaf anatomy therefore holds great potential to enhance photosynthetic capacity.
In plants, the cells that form the internal structure of leaves start out as tightly compacted spheres in the early stages of leaf development. As the leaf develops and expands, these cells take on ...
Mesophyll conductance, or the ease with which CO 2 can diffuse through a leaf’s cells before reaching the location where it undergoes carbon fixation, plays a key role in photosynthesis. CO 2 faces ...
Overexpression of SHR enhance mesophyll cell division, resulting in a substantial reduction in leaf vein density. However, exogenous auxin treatments led to an increase in leaf vein density. Notably, ...
Protoplast culture and plant regeneration of an important medicinal plant Tylophora indica were achieved through callus regeneration. Protoplasts were isolated from leaf mesophyll cells and cultured ...
