We have the first video of a plant cell wall being built Plant cells without a cell wall are fragile, so it's hard to image its construction.

The process that regulates the TOC protein function remains elusive. Through this process, Yoon said, “the plant can take in the necessary chloroplast-targeted proteins selectively.” Yoon’s lab ...

Although plant cell-based bioproduction has advanced considerably during the past several years, certain elements remain largely unexplored.
