Plants fix 258 billion tons of CO2 in their chloroplasts through photosynthesis every year. For these cell organelles to work ...

LMU biologists decipher the ionome of chloroplasts and create the foundations for new biotech strategies. Plants fix 258 billion tons of CO 2 in their chloroplasts through photosynthesis every year.

A study uncovers a new role for ion transporters: they participate in gene regulation in chloroplasts. A study led by LMU plant biologist Hans-Henning Kunz uncovers a new role for ion transporters: ...

Photosynthesis takes place before our eyes every day in every single little green leaf -- yet the details of the complex process have not yet been fully understood. A research team has unraveled ...

Photosynthesis is a process that inevitably produces reactive oxygen species, such as hydrogen peroxide, which is reduced by chloroplast-localized detoxification mechanisms one of which involves 2-Cys ...

The response of ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate levels and CO2 fixation rates in isolated, intact spinach chloroplasts to pyrophosphate, triose phosphates, DL-glyceraldehyde, O2, catalase, and irradiance ...

Experimental seedlings in the laboratory. UC Davis plant biologists have discovered how chloroplasts, responsible for photosynthesis in green plants, also play a key role in plant immunity to ...

Benjamin holds a Master's degree in anthropology from University College London and has previously worked in the fields of psychedelic neuroscience and mental health. Benjamin holds a Master's degree ...

The image shows a high-resolution 3D model of the plant RNA polymerase PEP, which plays a central role in photosynthesis. For life on Earth, it is essential that plants carry out photosynthesis and ...

Before I retired, I taught science to fourth graders in Midland’s GT program. As a scientist myself, I wanted my students to love science as I knew it: asking and answering questions about big ideas.
