Purdue University scientists have discovered a key mechanism that regulates how plants develop chloroplasts, essential ...

The macromolecular organization of photosynthetic complexes within the thylakoids of higher plant chloroplasts has been a topic of significant debate. Using in situ cryo-electron tomography, this ...

Toribio Rodríguez de Mendoza National University researchers conducted a genomic analysis of fine aroma cocoa from northern ...

However, the high morphological diversity of the Meliaceae species and the lack of comparative studies of chloroplast (cp) genomes have led to great challenges in the classification and identification ...

We therefore analyzed the effects of high chloroplast envelope protein concentrations on membrane structures using an in vivo approach with protoplasts. Transient expression of outer envelope proteins ...

Unlike plants and cyanobacteria, photosynthetic bacteria, such as purple sulfur bacteria, thrive in extreme environments with high salt concentrations and alkalinity. These bacteria use hydrogen ...

This phenomenon, kleptoplasty, poses a question of how the chloroplast retains its activity without the algal nucleus. There have been debates on the horizontal transfer of algal genes to the animal ...
