These stepwise changes allowed VAMP72 to evolve into VAMP727, supporting the development of the efficient vacuolar transport system found in seed plants. Credit: Takashi Ueda and Masaru Fujimoto Seed ...
Plants produce all the amino acids essential for human life. This commonly occurs in specialized cell organelles, so-called plastids. A research team headed by Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf ...
In higher plants, the phloem acts not only as a conduit for photosynthates but also as a dynamic signalling highway for macromolecules such as RNAs. Messenger RNAs (mRNAs), small interfering RNAs and ...
