Plants don't just grow, they build. From towering trees to delicate flowers, complex plant shapes are sculpted with remarkable precision. Now a study by biologists and biophysicists at Université de ...

The diversity of forms of living organisms is enormous. But how the individual cells together coordinate the formation of organs and tissues in complex organisms is still an open question. Researchers ...

Effective hydrophobic barriers were essential for plants to survive on land, yet how these barriers became specialized across different tissues has remained unclear. This study reveals that two ...
