Chloroplasts also have a third internal membrane called the thylakoid membrane, which is extensively folded and appears as stacks of flattened disks in electron micrographs. The thylakoids contain ...

The sun is the ultimate source of energy for virtually all organisms. Photosynthetic cells are able to use solar energy to synthesize energy-rich food molecules and to produce oxygen.

A recent study by Chinese scientists has revealed the intricate molecular machinery driving energy exchange within ...

The chloroplast thylakoid membrane is the site for the initial steps of photosynthesis that convert solar energy into chemical energy, ultimately powering almost all life on earth. The heterogeneous ...

so-called thylakoid membranes in the chloroplasts swells under drought stress. However, swelling presumably requires water, of which there is very little in plant cells under such conditions ...

(2013) Thylakoid biogenesis has joined the new era of bacterial ... Zhang, and W. Zerges (2012) Biogenic membranes of the chloroplast in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. Proceedings of the National Academy ...
