Photosynthesis, the natural process of converting sunlight energy into chemical energy and generating molecular oxygen, is a ...

We show that chloroplasts can express a secretory protein, human somatotropin, in a soluble, biologically active, disulfide-bonded form. High concentrations of recombinant protein accumulation are ...

In mature tomato fruits, chlorophylls are degraded and replaced by carotenoids through the conversion of chloroplasts in chromoplasts, while in red grape berries, chloroplasts persist at maturity and ...

Salinity stress affects mainly lipids, ions levels, malate and nitrogen metabolism, anti-oxidative enzymes and antioxidants, chloroplast structure and photosynthesis (Parida and Das, 2005). Many ...

Fluorescence microscopy revealed that these structures appear as several distinct spots within chloroplasts which are associated to thylakoids. However, appearance and distribution is very dynamic and ...
