A new tool could make it easier to study scarce plant molecules. Researchers have developed so-called microbial cell factories -- using E. coli and yeast -- to produce a special class of plant ...

New research by Penn State researchers reveals how several molecular roadblocks slow the breakdown of cellulose for biofuels. Here, Daguan Nong, assistant research professor of biomedical engineering, ...

Imagine if our bodies could grow new organs throughout our entire lives. Plants do this constantly, thanks to tiny, powerful reservoirs of stem cells ...

Plants form a critical model for understanding regulated cell death (RCD) as part of their sophisticated immune responses. In the ongoing evolutionary arms ...

Scientists in Italy are developing sweet snacks with lab-grown plant cells and fruit residues, producing a material that a 3D printer can then process into ‘pastries’ with high nutritional ...
