A recent study by Chinese scientists has revealed the intricate molecular machinery driving energy exchange within ...

The unusual conversation occurs between two compartments within plant cells—the nucleus and the chloroplast. It is a dialogue that continues today, and, according to research just published in ...

Chloroplast development ... specific primers using the first-strand cDNA as a template. For quantitative real-time RT–PCR, the RNA samples were reverse transcribed into first-strand cDNA ...

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 ...

These include chloroplasts in plants, which play a key role in photosynthesis ... onto each other and the cells of the junction were observed microscopically in real time. To differentiate between the ...

Scientists agree this process occurred twice, leading to the development of mitochondria—organelles that produce energy—and ...

Under cold conditions, not only the mother plant but also the father plant can pass on its chloroplasts to the offspring. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology in ...

Chloroplasts may seem like docile farmers of light. But inside these microscopic plant and algal cell structures lurks the spirit of a warrior. When a pathogen attacks a plant, chloroplasts stop ...

S. Koussevitzky et al., "Signals from chloroplasts converge to regulate nuclear gene expression," Science, 316:715–9, 2007. (Cited in 58 papers) Joanne Chory, a Salk Institute molecular biologist, ...

A group of RIPE researchers have found, for the first time, that chloroplast size manipulations are unlikely to be an option for increasing crop photosynthetic efficiency. Their work was recently ...

Under cold conditions, not only the mother plant but also the father plant can pass on its chloroplasts to the offspring A story of flowers and bees is the classic introduction to a topic that is ...
