Stem cell-like approach in plants sheds light on specialized cell wall formation

Stem cell-like approach in plants sheds light on specialized cell wall formation

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 this method, the research team explored the banding patterns that increase the stability of plant cell walls — much like the corrugated patterns … Read more
