An artistic fusion of spatial transcriptomic landscapes from longitudinal and transverse rice root sections. Colours indicate distinct cell types, while dots represent detected mRNA molecules, ...

Researchers have captured time-lapse videos of stem cells dividing in growing plant roots. By watching how the cells divide in response to certain chemical signals over time, the team is uncovering ...

The careful control of cell division is essential to organisms, and when it goes awry, major problems can arise like developmental defects or tumor growth. Cell division can have a major influence on ...

Water deficit resistance in plants has long been a topic of interest for cultivating reliable crops. Some plants can alter their above-ground structure to lock in moisture, while others develop deep, ...

Scientists have discovered, for the first time how root cells respond to their complex soil environment revealing that roots actively sense their microenvironment and mount precise, cell-specific ...
