For more than a billion years, plants have had an internal dialogue, and we are just beginning to learn the words. The unusual conversation occurs between two compartments within plant cells—the ...

Researchers have developed a sequencing method that allows potentially hundreds of plant chloroplast genomes to be sequenced at once, facilitating studies of molecular biology and evolution in plants.

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers at the University of Cologne’s CECAD Cluster of Excellence for Aging Research and the CEPLAS Cluster of Excellence for Plant Sciences have discovered a promising synthetic plant ...

Scientists at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology in Potsdam (Germany) analyzed for the first time the inheritance of chloroplasts under a wide range of environmental conditions.

A new study from the University of Helsinki reveals how plant mitochondria draw molecular oxygen away from chloroplasts, an ...

Chloroplast division is a fundamental process that ensures proper organelle inheritance during cell division and sustains the photosynthetic capacity of plants. This division involves the coordinated ...

Palmer, 35, has been studying the structure and evolution of the chloroplast genome since he was a doctoral candidate at Stanford. A chloroplast is the organelle in plant cells in which photosynthesis ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Higher-plant chloroplast division requires some of the same genes that are involved in prokaryotic cell division. These include the FtsZ and ...

Researchers at the University of Florida and Oberlin College have developed a sequencing method that will allow potentially hundreds of plant chloroplast genomes to be sequenced at once, facilitating ...
