Chloroplast, which is a double-membrane-bounded organelle, is the main site for CO 2 fixation via photosynthesis in green plants. The double-membrane configuration can regulate the transport of ...

Photosynthesis is a complex process, involving many pathways and puzzle pieces working together to keep the organism alive. In a study in Plant Physiology, Michigan State University researchers reveal ...

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 ...

Chloroplasts maintain photosynthetic efficiency and stress resilience through tightly regulated proteolysis and protein quality control networks. Central to these systems are ATP‐dependent ...

A recent study by Chinese scientists has revealed the intricate molecular machinery driving energy exchange within chloroplasts, shedding light on a key event in the evolution of plant life. Led by ...

A research group led by Osaka University identifies a new type of protein from the red algae Cyanidioschyzon merolae associated with the import of chloroplast protein precursors and the mechanism of ...

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 ...

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 ...
