Plants transport water in pipe-like structures made of dead and empty cells within a vascular tissue called xylem. A researcher concludes in his doctoral dissertation that different cell types work ...

New techniques allow live-observation of forming cell walls in the vascular tissue. Trees are by far the tallest organisms on Earth. Height growth is made possible by a specialized vascular system ...

Vascular tissue in plants distributes water and nutrients, thereby ensuring constant growth. Each newly developed cell needs to develop into its respective cell type in the vascular tissue. A team at ...

Scientists from the University of Helsinki have uncovered how plants restore the vascular cambium stem cells, a key tissue type that forms wood and phloem, when it gets damaged. Plants cannot move ...

On the surface, plants and animals couldn't be more different. However, as researchers at Worcester Polytechnic University (WPU) have discovered, they also share surprising similarities in their ...

Forget your favorite flowers, because we’re talking all about the mean green sporing machines. In this episode of Crash Course Botany, we dive into the first few branches of plants’ phylogenetic ...
