  2. Cell plate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_plate

    As the cell plate matures in the central part of the cell, the phragmoplast disassembles in this region and new elements are added on its outside. This process leads to a steady expansion of the phragmoplast and, concomitantly, to a continuous retargeting of Golgi-derived vesicles to the growing edge of the cell plate. Once the cell plate ...

  3. Phragmoplast - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phragmoplast

    The cell plate will transform into the new cell wall once cytokinesis is complete. The phragmoplast is a plant cell specific structure that forms during late cytokinesis . It serves as a scaffold for cell plate assembly and subsequent formation of a new cell wall separating the two daughter cells.

  4. Cell culture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_culture

    Cell culture in a small Petri dish Epithelial cells in culture, stained for keratin (red) and DNA (green). Cell culture or tissue culture is the process by which cells are grown under controlled conditions, generally outside of their natural environment.

  5. Petri dish - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petri_dish

    A Petri dish (alternatively known as a Petri plate or cell-culture dish) is a shallow transparent lidded dish that biologists use to hold growth medium in which cells can be cultured, [1] [2] originally, cells of bacteria, fungi and small mosses. [3] The container is named after its inventor, German bacteriologist Julius Richard Petri.

  6. Middle lamella - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_lamella

    The cell plate that is formed during cell division itself develops into middle lamella or lamellum. The middle lamella is made up of calcium and magnesium pectates. [2] In a mature plant cell it is the outermost layer of cell wall. [3] [4] In plants, the pectins form a unified and continuous layer between adjacent cells.

  7. Colony-forming unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colony-forming_unit

    The purpose of plate counting is to estimate the number of cells present based on their ability to give rise to colonies under specific conditions of temperature, time, and nutrient medium. Theoretically, one viable cell can give rise to a colony through replication. However, solitary cells are the exception in nature, and in most cases the ...

  8. Phragmosome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phragmosome

    The phragmosome is a sheet of cytoplasm forming in highly vacuolated plant cells in preparation for mitosis. [1] In contrast to animal cells, plant cells often contain large central vacuoles occupying up to 90% of the total cell volume and pushing the nucleus against the cell wall. In order for mitosis to occur, the nucleus has to move into the ...

  9. Cytochemistry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cytochemistry

    Cytochemistry is a science of localizing chemical components of cells and cell organelles on thin histological sections by using several techniques like enzyme localization, micro-incineration, micro-spectrophotometry, radioautography, cryo-electron microscopy, X-ray microanalysis by energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, immunohistochemistry ...
