The ion relations of isolated mesophyll cells from Antirrhinum leaf tissue were compared with the corresponding properties of the freshly excised leaf tissue. Both systems showed active influxes of K+ ...

Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol. 68, No. 2, Special Issue: C₄ Photosynthesis: 50 Years of Discovery and Innovation (2017), pp. 147-160 (14 pages) The high efficiency of C₄ photosynthesis relies on ...

Little is known about the developmental control of leaf size and shape, and understanding the mechanisms behind this is a major issue in plant biology. New research concludes that communication ...

To establish productive infection, plant viruses need to be able to efficiently invade and spread within a plant. Most viruses are introduced into a plant via the epidermal or mesophyll cells where ...

A project at MIT has developed a nanoparticle-based method to make plants capable of storing and emitting light, potentially allowing plant-based reflectance devices, signaling, and lighting. As ...

Abstract: The leaf epidermis plays a crucial role as the plant's frontline, regulating CO2 entry for photosynthesis while providing protection against dehydration. This talk will explore the ...
