In particular, organelles called chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the Sun in energy-rich molecules; cell walls allow plants to have rigid structures as varied as wood trunks and ...

Using this method, the research team explored the banding patterns that increase the stability of plant cell walls—much like the corrugated patterns in cardboard—and how they are created.

biologists explored how banding patterns that increase the stability of plant cell walls are created and how their assembly can go astray in mutant plants. This work could ultimately inform ...

Finally, SEM images at 500× magnification were taken to assess cell adhesion to the OMIs. The SEM analysis showed varying surface microstructures, particularly in the neck and thread regions of ...
