With the timsTOF Ultra, researchers can now dive into single-cell metabolomics in plants, offering a clearer, more detailed look at how alkaloids are made and where they’re coming from.

Plant cells are surrounded by an intricately structured protective coat called the cell wall. It’s built of cellulose microfibrils intertwined with polysaccharides like hemicellulose or pectin. We ...

In a groundbreaking study on the synthesis of cellulose -- a major constituent of all plant cell walls -- a team has captured images of the microscopic process of cell-wall building continuously over ...
