The Bryologist, Vol. 114, No. 4 (Winter 2011), pp. 749-755 (7 pages) The status of the three taxa belonging to Timmia section Norvegica has not yet been satisfyingly resolved, despite several studies ...

Scientists found molecular evidence supporting the idea that chloroplasts originated as energy-generating organelles and only later evolved to support carbon assimilation in plant cells. One of the ...

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 ...

Chloroplast development requires the coordinated expression of nuclear and chloroplastic genes. A hypothesized signal from the chloroplast couples the transcription of certain nuclear genes encoding ...

Chloroplasts—the "light power plants" of plant cells—are increasingly the focus of synthetic biology. These organelles house the photosynthetic apparatus and host several metabolic pathways that are ...

When plant cells are infected with pathogens, networks of tiny tubes called stromules grow from the chloroplasts to the cell's nucleus and trigger programmed cell death and innate immune responses.

Photosynthesis is an ingenious catalytic system, allowing plants and algae to use the energy from sunlight to convert carbon dioxide into the carbohydrates they need for their cells’ metabolism—a ...

Project backed by £9.1m funding from ARIA, the Advanced Research + Invention Agency, to develop synthetic chloroplast genomes Project is led by the Max-Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology ...
