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, ...
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 ...
One of the most momentous events in the history of life involved endosymbiosis—a process by which one organism engulfed another and, instead of ingesting it, incorporated its DNA and functions into ...
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 ...
