Plants fix 258 billion tons of CO2 in their chloroplasts through photosynthesis every year. For these cell organelles to work ...
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 ...
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: ...
Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol. 68, No. 12, Special Issue: The Changing Climate of Plant Membrane Biology (2017), pp. 3129-3143 (15 pages) Salt stress impacts multiple aspects of plant metabolism ...
Whether Guard Cells (GCs) carry out photosynthesis has been debated for decades. Earlier studies suggested that guard cell chloroplasts (GCCs) cannot fix CO2 but later studies argued otherwise. Until ...
Life as we know it wouldn’t be possible without chloroplasts — those tiny, bean-shaped structures inside plant and algae cells that harness the sun’s energy to turn water and carbon dioxide into ...
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 ...
New research reveals how marine microbes use an extra membrane that once had digestive functions to boost their yield from photosynthesis. A dense rainforest or other verdant terrestrial vegetation ...
