Plant cells have several structures not found in other eukaryotes. In particular, organelles called chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the Sun in energy-rich molecules; cell walls ...

"Through tissue culture techniques, we can replicate the process of vascular bundle development in a petri dish, allowing us to observe the key factors involved in the fate determination of plant ...

or if you are unfamiliar with these techniques, it is advisable to follow the sequence for preparing feeder-containing cultures to ensure the quality of the feeder cells. We routinely culture ...

A new method developed by Penn State biologists allows them to turn stripped-down plant cells into other types of cells, similar to the way stem cells differentiate into different cell types. Using ...

Previously, it was believed that chloroplasts—light-capturing structures essential to plant cells—could not function within animal cells.
