A newly discovered protein controls plant cell growth, helping seedlings develop and survive early growth stages.

Rice University scientists used advanced CRISPR techniques to study PEX11, a protein coded by five genes in Arabidopsis plants, revealing its role in controlling peroxisome growth during the ...

Rice University scientists used advanced CRISPR techniques to uncover how the PEX11 protein regulates peroxisome size during the critical seed-to-seedling growth stage in plants. By selectively ...

For most of their lives, plants get their energy from photosynthesis. But during the seed to seedling stage, when they can't ...

Plants spend most of their lives using photosynthesis to make energy. However, in the earliest phase after a seed begins to grow, they cannot yet ...

Before seedlings can photosynthesize, they depend on fatty acids—and on peroxisomes to process them. Researchers discovered ...

The new study implicates cellular parts called peroxisomes as important alternative heat producers in brown fat. Peroxisomes are small compartments in cells involved in processing fat molecules. When ...

Researchers at the University of Virginia (UVA) School of Medicine have uncovered a potential path to treatment for persistent COVID-19 symptoms impacting the lungs. The work, published in Science in ...
