  • GMC-auxin intermediate state - The fork in the road of cell fate

    In the research published by the team from Shandong Agricultural University in the journal Cell, a core concept runs through the entire study - "GMC-auxin intermediate state" (Guard Mother Cell - Auxin Intermediate State). This is a crucial transitional state for plant cells during their "transformation" process. In the words of the team, this is the "fork in the road" of cell fate.

  • Plants vs Animals - Why Are Cell Totipotency Levels Different?

    In the biological world, there is a fundamental difference in the developmental potential of cells between plants and animals: Plant cells have greater "plasticity". Compared to animal cells, plant cells have greater developmental plasticity. Under certain conditions, they can develop into embryos without fertilization. This difference conceals profound biological principles.
