In the late 1950s, a substance that promoted plant cell division was discovered in autoclaved herring sperm DNA and was called kinetin 1. A few years later, a class of phytohormones with similar ...

Lipids are biomolecules essential for the proper functioning of the living cell. They are found in the cell membranes and are also integral components of cell signaling pathways. Plant cells possess ...

Leaf senescence represents the final stage of leaf development, involving transcription factors (TFs)-mediated genetic reprogramming events. The timing of crop leaf senescence has a major influence on ...

Researchers develop non-invasive carbon nanotube-based devices for the long-term measurement of bioelectric potentials in plants. (Nanowerk News) Nanofilm electrodes capable of detecting stress in ...

A new study shows that lipid droplets in the leaves contain plant proteins such as different myosin binding proteins involved in intracellular movement, and several enzymes responsible for ...
