Wood is formed from secondary xylem tissue consisting of cells with a heavily thickened secondary cell wall that is enriched in lignin and cellulose. In contrast, primary cell walls are composed ...
Understanding how plants coordinate vertical growth with wood formation is essential for improving biomass production. A ...
The first-level transcription factors (TFs), SWNs, include SND1, NST1/2, and VND1-7; first and a half-level TFs include SND2-5; the second-level master switches includes MBY46/83. Only genes that have ...
Secondary cell walls, also known as xylem or wood, are built according to a few distinct and refined patterns that allow wall strength to be maintained while still allowing connecting cells to ...
A new method developed by Penn State biologists allows them to turn stripped-down plant cells into other types of cells, similar to the way stem cells differentiate into different cell types. Using ...
New techniques allow live-observation of forming cell walls in the vascular tissue. Trees are by far the tallest organisms on Earth. Height growth is made possible by a specialized vascular system ...
