Wild Bio, a start-up using evolutionary biology to develop resilient crops, has partnered with Oxford University scientists ...

New research from Max Planck Institute reveals how plants defend their genomes from invasion by chloroplast DNA.

Imagine a world where crops can thrive regardless of climate or disease and provide all the essential nutrients our bodies need. Researchers at ...

Researchers in the University of Oxford's Department of Biology and Wild Bioscience Ltd are to receive backing of a £6.7 ...

This is real, free expression," says Neil Volz of the Alliance for the Arts. "There’s something really cool that goes on in these creative spaces.” ...

Real ID is really coming. After years of delaying full implementation of the requirement that people have a security-enhanced Real ID to pass airport security, board airplanes or enter federal ...

In 2021 biologist Sachihiro Matsunaga of the University of Tokyo reported how sacoglossan sea slugs can “steal” chloroplasts from algae they eat, fueling the slugs’ energy needs for weeks.

Now, researchers have shown they can get animal cells to do the same thing. Photosynthesis in plants and algae is performed by tiny organelles known as chloroplasts, which convert sunlight into oxygen ...

After decades of failed attempts, scientists have finally succeeded in coaxing animal cells into photosynthesizing. So far, the researchers have only managed to achieve the feat in cultured cells ...

Scientists have long known that chloroplasts help plants turn the sun’s energy into food, but a new study, led by plant biologists at the University of California, Davis, shows that they are also ...

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 stromal processing peptidase (SPP), a chloroplast plant enzyme, reduces the clumping of proteins that cause the pathogenic alterations in models of Huntingtons disease in human cells and the ...
