A certain species of sea slug steals chloroplasts from algae and houses its contraband in special organelles that it can raid for food in times of need “It was the wildest thing that we had seen,” ...
'Very novel and very puzzling': Unknown species of squid spotted burying itself upside down, pretending to be a plant 'They are life, but not as we now know it': 26-foot organism that lived 420 ...
Scientists found molecular evidence supporting the idea that chloroplasts originated as energy-generating organelles and only later evolved to support carbon assimilation in plant cells. One of the ...
Royalty-free licenses let you pay once to use copyrighted images and video clips in personal and commercial projects on an ongoing basis without requiring additional payments each time you use that ...
How would you like it if you could recharge just by sitting out in the Sun? The ability to use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) and water into oxygen and energy is traditionally the exclusive ...
The ability of plants to convert sunlight into food is an enviable superpower. Now, researchers have shown they can get animal cells to do the same thing. Photosynthesis in plants and algae is ...

The chloroplasts were sourced from red algae, while the animal cells were cultured from hamsters. Previous studies had found success in transplanting chloroplasts into yeast, granting them the new ...
A proposed model of how StFC-II was manipulated by RxLR effector Pi22922 to suppress host imunitiy. Phytophthora infestans RxLR effector Pi22922 was secreted from haustoria and translocated in the ...
