A new study from the University of Helsinki reveals how plant mitochondria draw molecular oxygen away from chloroplasts, an ...

Plants constantly juggle oxygen inside their cells, but scientists have now discovered a surprising twist in how that balance works. Researchers at the University of Helsinki found that ...

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 ...

Under cold conditions, not only the mother plant but also the father plant can pass on its chloroplasts to the offspring A story of flowers and bees is the classic introduction to a topic that is ...

A new study from the University of Helsinki reveals how plant mitochondria draw molecular oxygen away from chloroplasts, an ...

Redox regulation in chloroplasts is a fundamental process that ensures the optimal performance of photosynthesis through the reversible modification of key enzymes. Central to this mechanism is the ...

Cyanobacteria are among the oldest life forms, and appear to be the forerunners of green chloroplasts in plant cells. They do not possess a true cell nucleus, but their genetic substance is made up of ...

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 ...

The ability of plants to convert sunlight into food is an enviable superpower. Now, researchers have shown they can get animal cells to do the same thing. Photosynthesis in plants and algae is ...

Animals that resemble plants are not uncommon in the wild. Many creatures use this mimicry for camouflage purposes. One sea slug, however, doesn’t just look like a plant, it actually functions like ...
