Plant physiology covers the study of photosynthesis, water physiology, mineral nutrition, and stress resistance, which is important for agricultural production, ecological environmental protection, and plant resource utilization in scientific research and practical application. We provide biophysical techniques such as X-ray diffraction, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and Raman spectroscopy, which are important for elucidating plant growth and development, morphogenesis, material and energy metabolism, information transmission, and transduction.
CD BioSciences, a leading biophysical specialist with a wide range of state-of-the-art equipment and technology platforms, is committed to the study of plant physiology, including photosynthesis, cell walls, root growth, transpiration, and mechanical forces.
Application Areas
Photosynthesis is a biochemical process in which plants, algae, and some bacteria use chlorophyll to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and release oxygen under visible light. This reaction has an irreplaceable role in realizing energy conversion in nature and maintaining the carbon and oxygen balance in the atmosphere. We can provide spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, infrared imaging, and other biophysical techniques to study how photosynthesis has a fundamental guiding role in agricultural production, environmental protection, and other fields.
The plant cell wall is a complex reticular structure whose components include cellulose, hemicellulose, pectin, and a small number of structural proteins. It is mainly involved in maintaining a certain shape of the cell and enhancing the mechanical strength of the cell and is also related to the physiological activities of the cell. Our service platform is equipped with a variety of advanced microscopic imaging techniques to further elucidate the composition, structure, and function of the cell wall and to advance the study of plant physiology.
Plant roots absorb water from the soil dissolve inorganic salts, and support, reproduce, store, and synthesize organic matter. They also support, reproduce, and store organic matter for synthesis. Based on this, our biophysical technology platform supports to study of the structure and function of plant root systems to further understand the relationship between plants and their environment, and to provide a practical basis for ecosystem conservation and restoration.
Transpiration is the process by which water from the body is lost to the outside world in the form of gas through the surface of leaves. We provide sensitive microscopic imaging techniques that can find that transpiration not only maintains the water balance in the plant body but also helps the absorption and transportation of nutrients.
Pollen tube growth is a key step in the process of sexual reproduction in flowering plants and is responsible for transporting two immobile sperm cells to the embryo sac to complete the process of double fertilization in flowering plants. Our observation of microfilament arrangement and dynamics at the tip of pollen tubes using high-resolution micro imaging has important scientific and theoretical implications for understanding the cytological basis of rapid pollen tube growth.
There is a close and complex relationship between plants and their environment. Environmental factors such as light, temperature, and humidity can directly influence biological processes within plant cells. We can further study the interaction mechanism between plants and the environment through a variety of biophysical techniques, such as imaging technology, biomechanical detection technology, etc., which is of great significance for the protection of the ecological environment and the promotion of sustainable development.
Cellulose is a large polysaccharide composed of glucose, which is the main component of plant cell walls. We can provide related services including but not limited to extraction, imaging, and material analysis. Our biophysical technology platform can reveal the microstructure and morphology of cellulose as well as its relationship with its properties, further providing a theoretical basis for cellulose modification and application development.
Plant biomechanics provides strong support for understanding plant growth, development, and adaptation to the environment, as well as the application of plant materials. Our advanced biophysical techniques can elucidate the mechanical properties of plants, which are critical to understanding plant morphological development and ability to adapt to the environment.
CD BioSciences utilizes biophysical analytical techniques committed to the exploration of plant photosynthesis, transpiration, root growth, mechanical forces, as well as cell wall structure and function, to further aid in the study of plant biology.
