Purdue University scientists have discovered a key mechanism that regulates how plants develop chloroplasts, essential ...

During photosynthesis, the plant soaks up light from the sun using a green-colored substance called chlorophyll, which is stored in tiny structures in the plant's leaves. These structures, called ...

Cyanobacteria eventually gave rise to chloroplasts in algae and green plants, and chloroplasts are the small bodies in plant cells that carry out photosynthesis today. The Bauer group's results ...

Likewise, Bru notes the rush of energy that an unexpected result gives him to continue. Plant cells, which contain chloroplasts that host the photosynthesis reaction, absorb sunlight for plants’ use ...

The researchers developed a model that traces the movement of OCS from the atmosphere into plant chloroplasts—the cellular structures where photosynthesis occurs. This approach leverages OCS’s ...

Everything about a plant’s life is affected by its leaves. These powerhouses are the sugar factories of botany! Leaves have amazing mechanisms for sustaining the plant’s life, as well as their vital ...

Chloroplasts are specialized organelles where photosynthesis occurs ... of plastid DNA into the nuclear genome of tobacco plants, highlighting the mutagenic potential of organellar DNA and ...

Oneida city officials joined students from Seneca Street Elementary School this past week in Allen Park for a belated ...

Scientists create artificial leaves from supramolecular hydrogels that efficiently convert light into chemical energy for green, recyclable photocatalysis.

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae and certain types of ... The electron transfer chain in chloroplast thylakoid membranes uses solar energy to produce NADPH and ATP, which ...

When two organisms live together so closely that they merge into a functional unit, this is known as symbiosis. In the "1+1=1 ...
