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 recently investigated the evolution of grasses, one of the most economic and ecologically important plant families, by sequencing the chloroplast DNA of an early diverging grass genus, ...
Researchers have succeeded in the world's first visualization of a peptidoglycan 'wall' present in the chloroplasts of bryophytes (moss plants). Until now, chloroplasts of green plants were considered ...
Annals of Botany, Vol. 110, No. 6, Highlight on Forage Crops (November 2012), pp. 1327-1339 (13 pages) • Background and Aims Lolium perenne (perennial ryegrass) is the most important forage grass ...
Chloroplasts and other members of the plastid organelle family contain a small genome of bacterial ancestry. Young chloroplasts contain hundreds of genome copies, but the functional significance of ...

Photosynthesis In Animal Cells Achieved For The First Time Using Implanted Chloroplasts
After decades of failed attempts, scientists have finally succeeded in coaxing animal cells into photosynthesizing. So far, ...
Late blight, caused by P. infestans, remains one of the most devastating diseases in potato production worldwide. Traditional breeding and chemical control often fall short due to the pathogen’s rapid ...
