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 ...

Scientists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory have cracked open the secrets of plant stem cells, mapping key genetic regulators in maize and Arabidopsis. By using single-cell RNA sequencing, they ...

(a) Examples of medicinal plants and their meristematic tissues as sources for stem cell generation. (b) Advantages of using medicinal plant stem cells in research and industrial applications. (c) In ...

Imagine if our bodies could grow new organs throughout our entire lives. Plants do this constantly, thanks to tiny, powerful reservoirs of stem cells. But how do these cells know when to divide, and ...

Plants grow from something unexpected—carbon drawn in through tiny pores called stomata. At Stanford, researchers are studying how these structures form to understand plant growth. Subscribe to our ...

At first glance, plant and animal cells have a lot in common: they’re both highly organized, keep their DNA tucked away in an envelope, and are kinda juicy inside. But plant cells have evolved some ...

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 ...
