Long lasting effects of cell divisions Lots of organisms show one or more forms of symmetry, plants included. In The Plant Journal English researchers show that this symmetry starts by cel divisions. Because of their cell wall plant cells can not move from their location. Therefore how and when a cell divides in part influencesContinue reading “Long lasting effects of cell divisions”

Quick responders
Quick responders Plants may be fixed in the ground. But they are quick responders. This is shown once again in recent research. Wherein a team of international researchers tells us that plants and algae respond within 30 seconds to the plant hormone auxin. The hormone auxin is about involved in almost everything in relation toContinue reading “Quick responders”
Acidic roots
Acidic roots While growing, roots find their way through the soil. This growth is a result of both cell division and the stretching of root cells. Something that is fascinating researchers for years, because how does a plant precisely regulate this growth is still a question. One of the factors that has a role inContinue reading “Acidic roots”
Zure wortels
Zure wortels Al groeiend banen de wortels van een plant een weg door de grond. Deze groei is een gevolg van zowel celdeling als uitstrekking van wortel cellen. Iets wat onderzoekers al jaren fascineert, want hoe reguleert de plant deze groei nu precies. Een van de factoren in dit proces is de veranderende zuurgraad. NuContinue reading “Zure wortels”
