The way we study plant cells is expanding—literally—thanks ... making tiny details easier to see under a standard microscope.

Fourteen cells from the Arabidopsis thaliana plant were imaged every six minutes ... mystery since cell walls were first viewed through a microscope more than 300 years ago, says Rutgers ...

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 without walls, known as protoplasts, are very fragile, and it has been difficult to keep them alive under a microscope for the several hours needed for them to build walls. Plant cells ...

An ear of corn starts off as a microscopic group of cells called a meristem. Meristem cells will eventually form all the visible parts of the corn plant through division and growth." Their ...

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 ...

One feature that makes plant-muscle cells bloat more efficiently is reinforcement with microscopic fibrils. They work like corsets, keeping cells from bulging out in all directions. Instead ...

A plant root includes a variety of diverse ... that more than half of the 3D bioprinted cells were divided into microscopic cell colonies known as microcalli after some time had elapsed.

“This work is the first direct visualization of how cellulose synthesizes and self-assembles into a dense fibril network on a plant cell surface, since Robert Hook’s first microscopic ...
