Imaging wall-less plant cells every six minutes for 24 hours revealed how the cells build their protective barriers.

These components are organized into three major layers: the primary cell wall, the middle lamella, and the secondary cell wall (not pictured). The cell wall surrounds the plasma membrane and ...

Advanced techniques are allowing scientists to witness the process where plant cells generate cellulose fibers.

In a groundbreaking study on the synthesis of cellulose -- a major constituent of all plant cell walls -- a team has captured images of the microscopic process of cell-wall building continuously over ...

Rutgers’ biophysicists, bioengineers and plant biologists capture first live images of cellulose construction leading to ...

In a discovery with potential practical applications, a team of Rutgers biophysicists, bioengineers and plant biologists capture first live imagesIn a ...
