UP to the present time, no X-ray investigations have been carried out on the molecular structure of chitin as present in plant cell-walls. The cell-walls of the sporangiophores of the fungus ...

It has the world's largest flowering structure, as it can grow up to 3m (10 feet) tall and weigh up to 150kg. The plant contains several hundred flowers in the base of its spadix. It is endangered ...

really important to maintain any structure which has a membrane," Singh said. Take the electrolyte potassium, for example. It is the most abundant positively charged ion inside cells, but its ...

Plant cells are organized in a rigid, static order resembling a brick wall due to their immobility. Plant immunity is very similar to the human innate immune system, which is the first round of ...

A new tool could make it easier to study scarce plant molecules ... CLA -- thanks to the microbial cell factory -- allowed the team to uncover its precise structure for the first time.
