Animal and plant cells differ and they have similarities ... Plant cells have a rigid cell structure. They are made up of a cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm, vacuole, nucleus, and chloroplasts.

However, they still require proteins made from instructions in the cell nucleus to function properly ... disrupt chloroplast development and structure, said Yoon, who is also a member of the Purdue ...

Imaging wall-less plant cells every six minutes for 24 hours revealed how the cells build their protective barriers.

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 ...

Do similar mechanisms operate in plant and animal stem cells to maintain long-term division and pluripotency? In conclusion, at least some of the genes that control the stem cell state in animals ...

However, they still require proteins made from instructions in the cell nucleus ... development and structure, said Yoon, who is also a member of the Purdue Center for Plant Biology.
