UC Davis plant scientists Eduardo Blumwald and Tom Buckley were named 2024 Highly Cited Researchers by Web of Science. Their influential work on crop stress and plant-water relationships ranks in the top 1% of citations, highlighting global impact.
UC Davis researchers used advanced microscopy to observe plant cell division in real-time, uncovering three phases of cell wall formation. Their work, published in the Journal of Experimental Botany, provides insights into cytokinesis and material recycling.
UC Davis researchers, led by Georgia Drakakaki, created a biophysical model and animation to explain cytokinesis, the essential process of plant cell division. Funded by the NSF, the model provides new insights into membrane structures and cell wall formation.
