I didn’t know what my life was missing until I came across this adorable, yet fascinating sea slug. The leaf sheep, or leaf ...

More insight into the process could improve crop productivity WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue University scientists have discovered a key mechanism that regulates how plants develop chloroplasts, ...

Scientists have helped to construct a detailed timeline for bacterial evolution, suggesting some bacteria used oxygen long before evolving the ability to produce it through photosynthesis.

Discussion: Our results indicate that NS treatment may cause damage to photosynthetic membrane lipids, whereas the increase in bilayer lipid DGDG may provide a kind of protection to maintain the ...

CTR1's main job in the chloroplast is to phosphorylate the TOC33 at a specific location—at position 260 in the protein chain of an amino acid called serine. By altering this site in the plants ...

Chloroplast's role is multifaceted, in not only carrying out the photosynthesis process but also acting as a hub for signaling and metabolic pathways. It is generally accepted that understanding ...

This process is what scientists have dubbed photosynthesis. Photosynthesis starts with roots, stomata, and chloroplasts, biological structures found exclusively in plants. Most of us are familiar ...

In the subcellular localization analysis, the three largest categories were chloroplast, cytoplasm, and nucleus. The percentage of DAPs located in chloroplast was 45.08% and 45.90% in the groups OX24 ...

Unlike plants, animals can’t carry out photosynthesis to generate our own oxygen, yet our brains rely on oxygen to make the massive amounts of energy needed to function. In a study published today ...
