Scientists are looking to plant tissues that are capable of motion to inspire the design and fabrication of artificial actuators. These bioinspired actuators hold significant potential in applications ...

Researchers have successfully uncovered the molecular mechanisms by which bacterial cellulose patches stimulate the regeneration of plant wounds. The regeneration process requires the activation of ...

A group of researchers in Japan have made quite the breakthrough. According to a new study published in the Proceedings of the Japan Academy, Series B, these scientists have created solar-powered ...

What do plant tissues look like under a microscope and why are they so complex! Plants—they’re just like us! Well, not exactly, but they do have skin and hair like us…even if they also have creepy ...

This Research Topic is centered on the complex physiological processes plants undergo when responding to stress, which often occur at the organ and tissue levels. Traditionally, the focus has been on ...
