A new mini-review published in the Journal of Bioresources and Bioproducts examines how environmental factors, particularly temperature, influence lignin production in plants. Authored by Giulia ...

This mini-review explores the influence of temperature on lignin deposition in plant cell walls, highlighting the need for adaptive strategies in ...

The human body is interconnected with cell-to-cell communication to orchestrate an effective immune response. Plant cells are organized in a rigid, static order resembling a brick wall due to their ...

The plant cell wall is a dynamic network of several biopolymers and structural proteins including cellulose, pectin, hemicellulose and lignin. Cellulose is one of the main load bearing components of ...

Secondary cell walls mediate many crucial biological processes in plants including mechanical ... Interestingly, overexpressing OsBLH6, the third ortholog of Arabidopsis AtBLH6, in rice causes ...

eLife is a non-profit organisation inspired by research funders and led by scientists. Our mission is to help scientists accelerate discovery by operating a platform for research communication that ...

This is called photosynthesis. The basic structure of a plant cell is shown below. Photosynthesis relies on many structures in the cell all working together, each playing its role. The diagram ...

Microbial cell factories may help get to the root of understudied plant molecules. ScienceDaily . Retrieved February 5, 2025 from www.sciencedaily.com / releases / 2025 / 01 / 250116161343.htm ...

Molecules released from pathogens are recognised by plant cell surface receptors, and trigger specific signalling cascades that help to defend the plant against attack. Plants deploy cell-surface ...
