The organelles of photosynthesis -- the chloroplasts -- have their own DNA, messenger RNA and ribosomes for forming proteins. Scientists have now discovered how to regulate the formation of proteins ...

Scientists have identified three different signals that indicate damage to chloroplasts -- the photosynthetic factories of plant cells that give plants their green color -- but little is known about ...

This fluorescence image shows chloroplasts (magenta colored) successfully incorporated into the hamster cells, with other features of the animal cell also highlighted (nuclei in light blue and ...

After decades of failed attempts, scientists have finally succeeded in coaxing animal cells into photosynthesizing. So far, ...

Optimal packing problems have inspired mathematicians for centuries. Biophysicists now add a layer to the question: How do chloroplasts arrange themselves optimally within cells, when the meaning of ...

As part of an investigation into the control of chloroplast replication the number and size of chloroplasts in mesophyll cells was examined in relation to the size of the cells. In first leaves of ...

Chloroplasts principally encode the photosynthetic machinery in Viridiplantae. It has long been accepted that in photosynthetic plants chloroplast genomic structure is uniquely stable. The first ...

A first-of-its-kind achievement has implanted photosynthesizing cells in animal cells to make “planimals.” This feat could be the first step in crafting lab-grown meat, material for skin grafts, and ...

Chloroplast is a typical plant cell organelle where photosynthesis takes place. In this study, a total of 1 808 chloroplast core proteins in Arabidopsis thaliana were reliably identified by combining ...

IN an interesting account of studies with the variegated variety of the fern Adiantum cuneatum in the March issue of the Journal of Genetics, Miss Irma Andersson shows that the prothallia all sooner ...
