Protein translocation is an essential, nano-scale dynamic process that facilitates the movement of proteins across cellular ...

Plants encounter various abiotic stresses, such as drought, salinity, and extreme temperatures, which can significantly hinder their growth and ...

Central to hornworts' enhanced photosynthetic ability is a microscopic structure called a pyrenoid. Found within their chloroplasts, pyrenoids act as CO₂ concentration chambers, ensuring that ...

Cyanobacteria began contributing oxygen to Earth's mostly noxious atmosphere more than 2 billion years ago. The photosystem ...

Most of us can barely recover from a bad haircut, but there are two species of sea slugs that can literally regrow their entire bodies from just their heads, which they seem to purposely detach from ...

Confirmed kleptoplasts, they have specialized mouthparts that enable them to suck the chloroplasts out of algae and store them in their own digestive cells for months, putting them to work for ...

New research reveals how resident algae altered the genome of these fabled sea creatures, allowing them to access more nutrients. Giant clams, some of the largest mollusks on Earth, have long ...

Chloroplast division involves the coordination of protein complexes from the stroma to the cytosol. The Min system of chloroplasts includes multiple stromal proteins that regulate the positioning of ...

Photosynthetic reactions in chloroplasts convert atmospheric carbon dioxide into starch and soluble sugars during the day. Starch, a transient storage form of sugar, is broken down into sugars as a ...
