Plant cells have several structures not found in other eukaryotes. In particular, organelles called chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the Sun in energy-rich molecules; cell walls ...

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

A recent study by Chinese scientists has revealed the intricate molecular machinery driving energy exchange within chloroplasts, shedding light on a key event in the evolution of plant life. Led by ...

That process, called carbon fixation, resulted in the assembly of two three-carbon molecules called 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA ...

Microplastics are hindering photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert energy from the sun into the fruit and ...

Cells are the fundamental unit of all living things. Specialised plant cells have components that allow them to complete a specific purpose. Specialised plant cells include root hair cells ...

The macromolecular organization of photosynthetic complexes within the thylakoids of higher plant chloroplasts has been a topic of significant debate. Using in situ cryo-electron tomography, this ...
