New insights in cell death in plants might generate new leads for weed control
Blog, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: NewsSource: SeedQuest
Some plants like the giant sequoia trees can grow into the “Largest Living Things on Earth”. Ironically, most of a tree’s biomass is actually not alive, but is formed by persistent cell corpses that are collectively called wood. Wood development is terminated by a tightly controlled…
New discovery on photosynthesis discovered
Blog, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: News9:07:18 | Editor: Marc Platthaus From Neue Erkenntnis zur Fotosynthese entdeckt Translated by Google.
The conversion of carbon dioxide and sunlight into energy (or biomass) and oxygen: hardly any process is as crucial to life on earth as photosynthesis. Although the process has been studied extensively…
Enzyme helps as a transcription factor in lignin production
Blog, The Plant Cell, The Plant Cell: NewsArjen Dijkgraaf | Wednesday, July 4, 2018 (Originally published in C2W Boeken. Translation by Google Translate)
In poplars a protein appears to have a bizarre double function: it makes building blocks for amino acids but also regulates the production of lignin. It could be a new way to create…
