Plant cells have some specialized properties that make them distinct from animal cells. Learn how special structures, such as chloroplasts and cell walls, create this distinction.

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 ...

Plant cells without walls, known as protoplasts, are very fragile, and it has been difficult to keep them alive under a ...

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

Our results indicate that modifications of cell wall structure and composition leading to e.g. loss of cell adhesion, can affect plant gas exchange independently of cuticle synthesis and guard cell ...
