Damage to the cell wall can lead to vacuole rupture and cell death. A conserved mechanism involving ATG8ylation, where ATG8 is relocated to the vacuole membrane, helps protect against this.

Water-filled vacuoles provide the inner pressure plant cells need for structural support. However, damage to the plant’s cell wall risks vacuole rupture and cell death. The Dagdas group at the ...

The structural support of a plant depends on the unique balance between two elements: The strong, flexible cell wall provides structural support, while the vacuole, a large cellular compartment filled ...

Feb. 10, 2025 — Evolution is traditionally associated with a process of increasing complexity and gaining new genes. However, the explosion of the genomic era shows that gene loss and ...

In fact, the cytoplasm of these cells appears deeply damaged in stained sections and contains several vacuoles of different size, which may sometimes reduce the cytoplasm to thin strands between ...

Feb. 4, 2025 — Research has shown that a potential new targeted therapy for childhood brain cancer is effective in infiltrating and killing tumor cells in preclinical models tested in mice.

This is called photosynthesis. The basic structure of a plant cell is shown below. Photosynthesis relies on many structures in the cell all working together, each playing its role. The diagram ...
