The galactolipid, phospholipid, and fatty acid composition of chloroplast envelope membrane fractions isolated from leaves of Vicia faba L. has been determined. The major lipids in this fraction are: ...
The Plant Cell, Vol. 20, No. 9 (Sep., 2008), pp. 2460-2470 (11 pages) Chloroplasts arose from a free-living cyanobacterial endosymbiont and divide by binary fission. Division involves the assembly and ...
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: ...
Researchers identified a large novel protein complex in the inner chloroplast membrane that functions as a motor to import proteins into the chloroplast. Components of the complex evolved from a ...
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 is an ingenious catalytic system, allowing plants and algae to use the energy from sunlight to convert carbon dioxide into the carbohydrates they need for their cells’ metabolism—a ...
Romieu and his colleagues describe in the Annals of Botony this month (September 11) tannosomes as small structures that originate within chloroplasts. Thylakoids inside the chloroplast swell, leading ...
Ph.D. student Philip Day and Professor Steven Theg, Department of Plant Biology, work on protein sorting in plant chloroplasts. (David Slipher/UC Davis) Plant biology professor Steven Theg took his ...
