This makes a big vacuole more effective at volume expansion. Gilroy, S. & Trewavas, A. Signal processing and transduction in plant cells: the end of the beginning? Nature Reviews Molecular Cell ...

Plant cells have several structures not found in other eukaryotes. In particular, organelles called chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the Sun in energy-rich molecules; cell walls ...

The research team showed that ATG8, which is normally located in small cellular vesicles that mediate autophagy, is quickly relocated to the vacuole membrane upon disruption of the cell wall.

Plant cells have a rigid cell structure. They are made up of a cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm, vacuole, nucleus, and chloroplasts. Plants feel firm because of their cellular walls.

Primary research goal for this research focus is to illuminate the dynamic contribution of organelles and their interaction in plant cells, in response to the ... cargoes to deliver them to the ...
