Hungarian researchers at ELTE Eötvös Loránd University and the HUN-REN Center for Energy Research have shown that the leaves of the ornamental never never plant can store water efficiently for up to ...

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.

The Orf2971-FtsHi complex is a structure with 20 subunits formed by 19 proteins, spanning the chloroplast inner membrane and extending into the intermembrane space as well as the stromal side.

The team isolated the chloroplasts from algal cells using a centrifuge and gentle stirring. Instead of then piercing the host cells’ membranes, as in earlier work, the researchers adjusted the culture ...

A three-dimensional structure of cpSRP43 provides insights into how plants have adapted the SRP for post-translational targeting of membrane proteins. In chloroplasts, cpSRP use two mechanisms to ...

Thanks to a Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship, Richard, who is pursuing his doctoral studies at ELTE, has been studying how drought stress affects the structure and function of plant chloroplasts ...
