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 ...

The locations of chloroplast proteins reveal the spatial organization of the chloroplast. Engineering crop plants will help address food, fuel, and product production challenges that arise from ...

Redox regulation in chloroplasts is a fundamental process that ensures the optimal performance of photosynthesis through the reversible modification of key enzymes. Central to this mechanism is the ...

The leaves of the ornamental never never plant can store water efficiently for up to 45 days thanks to their water-storing cell layers, and thus maintain their photosynthetic activity and chloroplast ...

The chloroplast thylakoid network is a dynamic structure which, through possible rearrangements, plays a crucial role in regulation of photosynthesis. Although the importance of the main components of ...

Aims Aim to unveil the functions of VcLon1 in plant Fe use efficiency. Methods RT-PCR was used to analyze the expression profile of VcLon1. VcLon1 was expressed in Nicotiana benthamiana, and its ...

Biologists demonstrate how the auxiliary factor CGL160 contributes to the synthesis of crucial parts of the photosynthetic machinery. LMU biologists demonstrate how the auxiliary factor CGL160 ...
