Plant cells have certain distinguishing features, including chloroplasts, cell walls, and intracellular vacuoles. Photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts; cell walls allow plants to have strong ...

Purdue University scientists have discovered a key mechanism that regulates how plants develop chloroplasts, essential structures responsible for the photosynthesis that sustains life on Earth by ...

Photosynthesis starts with roots, stomata, and chloroplasts, biological structures found exclusively in plants. Most of us are familiar with roots. Not only do these keep a plant in place ...

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 Collection welcomes original research on chloroplast function or photosynthesis, from cyanobacteria and algae to plants, including molecular and cellular strategies to embark on a journey ...

It is called a chloroplast. Scientists are still ... that the pivotal endosymbiotic event that endowed plants with the engine of photosynthesis happened just once in our planet’s early history ...

Microplastics are hindering photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert energy from the sun into the fruit and vegetables we eat. This threatens massive losses in crop and seafood production ...

The chloroplast thylakoid membrane is the site for ... and therefore the adaptability of plants to different environments. In photosynthesis, light-harvesting complexes (LHCs) capture solar energy and ...

The chloroplast thylakoid membrane is the site for ... These dynamics form the basis for the regulation of photosynthesis, and therefore the adaptability of plants to different environments. We use a ...
