Scientists from the University of Tokyo have successfully engineered animal cells capable of photosynthesis. The team used ...

List of photosynthetic pigments (in order of increasing polarity): Several other groups of bacteria use the bacteriochlorophyll pigments (similar to the chlorophylls) for photosynthesis. Unlike the ...

The TOC (Translocon at the Outer envelope of Chloroplasts)-TIC (Translocon at the Inner envelope of Chloroplasts) supercomplex is responsible for mediating the transport of most precursor proteins ...

Photosynthesis has fueled life on Earth for billions of years. Learn how it shapes ecosystems, sustains life, and even aids ...

In an incredible feat that redefines biological boundaries, scientists have successfully engineered animal cells capable of ...

Now, researchers have shown they can get animal cells to do the same thing. Photosynthesis in plants and algae is performed by tiny organelles known as chloroplasts, which convert sunlight into oxygen ...

DURING experiments on pigment orientation in chloroplasts and grana, it was necessary to determine the directions in which linearly polarized light is preferably absorbed in a pigment molecule.

Learn more about eLife assessments Plants distribute many nutrients to chloroplasts during leaf development and maturation. When leaves senesce or experience sugar starvation, the autophagy machinery ...

While dry weather can make leaves shed more rapidly, an expert says vibrant colors will stick around for at least another ...
