Learn about the distinctive features and characteristics of plant cells, the cells present in green plants and photosynthetic eukaryotes. Explore the different types of plant cells and tissues, such as parenchyma, collenchyma, sclerenchyma, and meristem, and their functions and examples.
Learn about 3D cell culture, an artificially created environment that allows cells to grow or interact in all three dimensions. Find out how 3D cell culture differs from 2D culture, what are its advantages and applications, and how it is classified into scaffold and scaffold-free techniques.
Palisade cells are vertically elongated and stacked cells in the mesophyll of most green leaves. They have a high concentration of chloroplasts and a large vacuole, and are responsible for most of the photosynthesis in the leaf.
A cell wall is a structural layer that surrounds some cell types, providing support, shape, protection, and selective barrier. Learn about the different types of cell walls in plants, algae, fungi, bacteria, and archaea, and how they evolved and function.
For the first time, scientists have peered into living cells and created videos showing how they function with unprecedented 3D detail. Using a special microscope and new lighting techniques, a ...
Plasmodesmata are microscopic channels that connect plant cells and enable transport and communication between them. Learn about their formation, structure, transport mechanisms, and roles in plant development and disease resistance.
The integration of the stimuli in plant cells is not fully understood, but the movement of the cell nucleus provides one example of a cellular process that underlies plant behavior, and highlights the importance of the cytoskeleton in solving spatial problems within the plant cell.
Plant anatomy is the study of the internal structure of plants, often involving microscopy and sectioning of tissues. Learn about the history, structural divisions, and applications of plant anatomy, and the difference between plant anatomy and morphology.
