Damage to the mitochondria, the 'power plants' of the cells, contributes to many diseases. Researchers now describe how cells with defective mitochondria activate a special recycling system to ...

Plant cells without walls, known as protoplasts, are very fragile, and it has been difficult to keep them alive under a ...

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

Plant behaviour may seem rather boring compared with the frenetic excesses of animals. Yet the lives of our vegetable friends, who tirelessly feed the entire biosphere (including us), are full of ...

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 ...

That process, called carbon fixation, resulted in the assembly of two three-carbon molecules called 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA). The energy stored in ATP and NADPH helps turn these 3-PGA molecules into ...

Visual selection and maintenance of the cell lines with high plant regeneration ability and low ploidy level in Dianthus acicularis by monitoring with flow cytometry analysis.

A group of researchers has won a large science prize for a discovery not quite two decades in the making. It was long thought that only simple microbes had mastered a chemical conversion reaction ...

T1 said the ramp up of the module assembly plant, pictured above, is ahead of schedule. Image: T1 Energy. Solar manufacturer T1 Energy has selected Milam County in Austin, Texas for the ...

The researchers have succeeded in synthesizing a stack of dyes that is very similar to the photosynthetic apparatus in plant cells—it absorbs light energy at one end, uses it to separate charge ...
