By this definition, stem cells are particularly important for plant growth, because virtually all tissues of the plant descend from small groups of stem cells located in their growing apices ...

These meristems contain stem cells that divide as needed and form new cells that develop into specialized tissue. Using the ...

A new method developed by Penn State biologists allows them to turn stripped-down plant cells into other types of cells, similar to the way stem cells differentiate into different cell types.

The big difference is that the stem cells in adult plants can still make every type of plant cell. Each one has the potential to form a whole new plant! Unsurprisingly, people want to make use of ...
