Indeed, chloroplasts resemble modern cyanobacteria, which remain similar to the cyanobacteria of 3 million years ago. However, the evolution of photosynthesis goes back even further, to the ...

Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts found within cells. It is the chloroplasts that contain the green pigment chlorophyll which absorbs light. The plant uses this glucose to grow as well as make ...

This process, called photosynthesis, is essential to the global carbon cycle and organisms that conduct photosynthesis represent the lowest level in most food chains (Figure 1). Most living things ...

We will focus on photosynthesis, water relations and mineral nutrition. Both classical and molecular physiological techniques will be used to characterize plant responses to stress. 1. Chloroplast ...

Photosynthesis happens in the chloroplast of plant cells, specifically in their photosynthetic membranes. These differ from ...

One of these strategies involves targeting chloroplast proteins, which are crucial for both photosynthesis and immunity.

Next the researchers are working on soybeans and cowpeas; the latter is “a hugely important food-security crop in African countries,” Meacham-Hensold says. A high-yield soybean variety with the same ...

This unicellular green alga is a popular model organism for research of chloroplast biogenesis and photosynthesis. We have identified two novel chloroplast compartments with intriguingly similarities ...
