A new study has uncovered a novel P-type PPR protein, BoYgl-2, which plays a crucial role in chloroplast RNA editing and chlorophyll biosynthesis in cabbage. This discovery sheds new light on the ...

The green chlorophyll in chloroplasts absorbs light's energy, which not only results in the release of oxygen but is ultimately used to transform low-energy carbon dioxide from the air into high ...

The photosynthetic sea slug Elysia chlorotica appears like a dark green leaf as a result of retaining chloroplasts from its algal prey, Vaucheria litorea, in cells lining its digestive tract ...

The research team of DGIST's fellow Hong-Gil Nam, discovered the natural control of chlorophyll activity. New mechanisms to protect photosynthesis organisms and control its efficiency are expected.

To see whether the slug could actually make new chlorophyll a to resupply the chloroplasts, Pierce and his colleagues turned to slugs that hadn’t fed for at least five months and had stopped ...

That’s why trees and plants gradually stop production of chlorophyll and divert water resources from the leaves to the trunk or branches.

Plants’ Photosynthetic Machinery Functions inside Hamster Cells Transplanted chloroplasts endured two days inside animal cells—and got to work ...

The staining properties and reactions to enzyms of bleached and unbleached chloroplasts indicate that the chlorophyll coats the colloidal particles of the stroma.

There's the familiar system of organelles called chloroplasts that turn sunlight into fuel via photosynthesis. The photosynthetic pigment inside chloroplasts, chlorophyll, is where the green color ...

It may be an article of faith that plant life on our planet must be verdant: Plants make energy with chloroplasts, chloroplasts are full of chlorophyll, and chlorophyll is green. But that hasn't ...
