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 ...

These images show chloroplasts in an Elodea densa plant cell (green), overlayed by their tracked movements over twenty minutes. The colour of the movement track represents the distance covered, as ...

The first step of photosynthesis, which involves converting light energy to chemical energy and producing oxygen, takes place in the thylakoid membrane of the chloroplast of a plant cell. The protein ...

Under cold conditions, not only the mother plant but also the father plant can pass on its chloroplasts to the offspring. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology in ...

Life as we know it wouldn’t be possible without chloroplasts — those tiny, bean-shaped structures inside plant and algae cells that harness the sun’s energy to turn water and carbon dioxide into ...

Euglena (Euglena gracilis) is a microalga containing chloroplasts and producing organic matter through photosynthesis in a well-lit environment, while taking in organic matter from outside in an unlit ...
