Stem cells self-renew and give rise to cells that are differentiated during development. These differentiated cells can change into stem cells under appropriate conditions in most plants, in which ...

Researchers have discovered that two proteins, which are involved in the control of stem cells' division in plant roots, need each other for these cells to function properly. The study combines ...

The mechanism by which the plant hormone cytokinin controls cell division has been discovered - a breakthrough that significantly improves our understanding of how plants grow. Cell division is ...

Researchers from the University of Freiburg have identified the HAN molecule as an important regulator that controls plant growth in conjunction with WOX5. Understanding this mechanism is relevant for ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Pools of stem cells in the apical meristems of plants are key to continued growth and development. Understanding how these stem cells are maintained and balanced against ...

Advanced imaging techniques have revolutionized the study of plant development and function, providing unprecedented insights into the intricate processes that occur at various structural levels, from ...

Plant meristems represent specialised tissues housing pluripotent stem cells that underpin continuous growth and organ formation. The intricate regulation of these stem cells is mediated by a complex ...

When it comes to stem cell management, all flowering plants work to maintain the same status quo. Researchers have now identified the various strategies plants use to preserve a single, essential ...
