For most of their lives, plants get their energy from photosynthesis. But during the seed to seedling stage, when they can't ...

A newly discovered protein controls plant cell growth, helping seedlings develop and survive early growth stages.

Before seedlings can photosynthesize, they depend on fatty acids—and on peroxisomes to process them. Researchers discovered ...

Rice University scientists used advanced CRISPR techniques to study PEX11, a protein coded by five genes in Arabidopsis plants, revealing its role in controlling peroxisome growth during the ...

Plants spend most of their lives using photosynthesis to make energy. However, in the earliest phase after a seed begins to grow, they cannot yet ...

Peroxisomes are dynamic, membrane‐bound organelles crucial for lipid metabolism, reactive oxygen species detoxification and cellular redox homeostasis. Their biogenesis involves a dual mode of ...

Tea will be served at 10:45 a.m., immediately preceding the seminar. Monday, May 13, 2024 - 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

Yet they have also known that mice with brown fat that lack uncoupling protein 1 are still able to burn energy and produce heat, pointing to the existence of back-up burners in cells. The new study ...
