Over 100 years ago, plant biologists recognized that the orientation of division for most cells could be predicted by their shapes. In 1863, Hofmeister noted that new cell walls are usually formed ...

Scientists reveal new plant cell walls can have ... 48-hours up until its mature stage, and how this affects local cell shapes ... post-cell division differ between ...

Biomechanics reveals cell wall age properties and how newly born cells can change their local shape and influence the growth of plant organs Scientists reveal new ...

Plant cells survive but stop dividing upon DNA damage ... shows the transcription factor family MYB3R prevents progression to the division stage (M phase) of the cell cycle in Arabidopsis, ...

For organisms to develop, their cells must undergo a pattern of growth, DNA replication, and division. But scientists who study this process, known as the cell cycle, have long noticed that the ...

They soon observed that some cells weren't dividing according to the "shortest wall rule," which normally governs plant cell division. While plant cells are expected to build the smallest – and ...

Along with copying and splitting DNA during division, cells must have a way to break safely into two viable daughter cells, a process called cytokinesis. But the molecular basis of how plant cells ...

A University of Massachusetts professor has taken a play out of building contractors’ playbooks. Dr. Maura C. Cannon, Research Associate Professor of Biochemistry and Microbiology, and a team of ...
