A Russian researcher, together with a colleague from Singapore, summarized data on tissue regeneration in plants at the individual cell level. The scientists noted that thanks to modern technologies, observations demonstrate that recovery can occur not only due to stem cells, but also by asymmetric (regenerative) division of other types of cells located around the damaged area. Understanding processes at the cellular level is important for developing personalized strategies for damage recovery in agricultural crops.
