Plant cells without walls, known as protoplasts, are very fragile, and it has been difficult to keep them alive under a ...

Imaging wall-less plant cells every six minutes for 24 hours revealed how the cells build their protective barriers.

The way we study plant cells is expanding—literally—thanks ... "We have the low-end microscopes, which are user-friendly but ...

The team recorded 24 hours of the cellular construction process, revealing surprising new details about how plant cell walls ...

Pop a cover slip on the slide and then put the slide onto the microscope. Take a look! Check out that strong cell wall structure. It's solid so that it keeps a plant's shape and structure.

Rutgers’ biophysicists, bioengineers and plant biologists capture first live images of cellulose construction leading to ...

To use a light microscope to examine animal or plant cells. To make observations and draw scale diagrams of cells. Turn the coarse focus so that the stage is as close to the objective lens as ...

The microscope-generated video images show protoplasts -- cells with their walls removed -- of cabbage's cousin, the flowering plant Arabidopsis, chaotically sprouting filaments of cellulose ...

Plant cells have several structures not found in other eukaryotes. In particular, organelles called chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the Sun in energy-rich molecules; cell walls ...

A newly developed method called DNA microscopy can accurately pinpoint the location of mRNA molecules within a cell and produce a visual map of the transcripts—all without actually using a microscope.
