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 ...

Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol. 68, No. 12, Special Issue: The Changing Climate of Plant Membrane Biology (2017), pp. 3129-3143 (15 pages) Salt stress impacts multiple aspects of plant metabolism ...

New research from the University of Oxford, published recently in the journal eLife, sheds fresh light on plant chloroplasts, and the proteins inside them. The regulation of chloroplast proteins is ...

Plants of different species can swap chloroplasts, the little cellular factories that capture energy from sunlight, when stems graft together. The surprising discovery may explain why evolutionary ...

A proposed model of how StFC-II was manipulated by RxLR effector Pi22922 to suppress host imunitiy. Phytophthora infestans RxLR effector Pi22922 was secreted from haustoria and translocated in the ...

Inside each plant cell, light-gathering chloroplasts dance out of a cell’s shaded edges to soak up the sun or back into that shade when the light is too intense. Now a team of scientists from five ...
