Eukaryogenesis occurred suddenly, driven by the growing length of genes and the limitations on producing longer proteins. An ...

Plants have small pores on the underside of their leaves, known as stomata. When the sun rises, these pores open and the ...

Time-lapse analyses of millions of antibiotic-stressed Escherichia coli characterize the diverse single-cell dynamics of persister cells that depend on antibiotics, culture conditions, and ...

The deconstruction of cellulose is essential for the conversion of biomass into fuels and chemicals. But cellulose, the most ...

Tariffs of up to 3,521% on imports of solar cells from Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam and Malaysia would effectively make the products unmarketable to U.S. consumers. That follows a yearlong ...

The authors reveal that failure to activate PGL1, a polygalacturonase degrading cell wall pectin, in the tcpΔ7 mutant results in enhanced endoreplication and cell enlargement, unraveling a ...

Here's how scientists at Rutgers University-New Brunswick witnessed living plant cells building their own cell walls. A team of researchers have captured continuous photographs of cellulose synthesis ...

In a groundbreaking study, researchers at Rutgers University-New Brunswick have captured continuous, 24-hour images of cellulose synthesis, the process by which plant cell walls are built, using ...
