Chloroplasts are plant cell organelles that convert light energy into relatively stable chemical energy via the photosynthetic process. By doing so, they sustain life on Earth. Chloroplasts also ...
Dec. 18, 2024 — Scientists have generated human stem cell models which contain notochord -- a tissue in the developing embryo that acts like a navigation system, directing cells where to build ...
Molecules released from pathogens are recognised by plant cell surface receptors, and trigger specific signalling cascades that help to defend the plant against attack. Time-resolved drone imaging ...
Plant signalling involves the conveying of information within and between plant cells from receptor systems to effectors. Signals can take many forms, including chemical and electrical ...
Receptors are groups of specialised cells. They detect a change in the environment (stimulus) and stimulate electrical impulses in response. Sense organs contain groups of receptors that respond ...
