A research team has reviewed the crucial role of light-dependent protochlorophyllide oxidoreductase (LPOR) in chlorophyll synthesis and chloroplast development, particularly during the dark-light ...

A new study has uncovered a novel P-type PPR protein, BoYgl-2, which plays a crucial role in chloroplast RNA editing and chlorophyll biosynthesis in cabbage. This discovery sheds new light on the ...

The process of chlorophyll biosynthesis is essential for plant photosynthesis, providing the green pigment that captures light energy. Recent advances in molecular genetics and biochemical analyses ...

Chloroplasts observed, by electron microscopy, to be intact and uncontaminated, with high rates of light-dependent protein synthesis and CO2 fixation were isolated from cells grown on low-vitamin-B12 ...

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 ...

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 ...
