Plant stem cells, as in animals, are maintained in specialized microenvironments, which are known as stem cell niches, where local signals from organizer cells act to prevent stem cell differentiation ...

Researchers at the University of Wisconsin–Madison are using the decellularized husks of plants such as parsley, vanilla, and orchids to form three-dimensional scaffolds that can then be primed and ...

A professor of plant molecular biology wants people to know that plants have stem cells too. Just like in the medical world, plant stem cells could support human growth and development when used to ...

The oldest known population of plant root stem cells have now been found in a 320-million-year-old fossil. The cells, which gave rise to the roots of an ancient plant, were found in a fossilized root ...

Explores the structure and function of green plants, focusing on their three main parts: roots, stems, and leaves. Roots anchor the plant and absorb water and minerals through root hairs. Stems ...

A plant’s vascular system is essential for maintaining stem structure, providing mechanical support, and for delivering resources to various plant organs. However, the structure and distribution of ...

Stem cell research is a hot topic. With applications for a host of human medical advancements, researchers have been working with animal and human stem cells for years. But animals aren’t the only ...
