Plant cells have several structures not found in other eukaryotes. In particular, organelles called chloroplasts allow plants to capture the energy of the Sun in energy-rich molecules; cell walls ...

The sun is the ultimate source of energy for virtually all organisms. Photosynthetic cells are able to use solar energy to synthesize energy-rich food molecules and to produce oxygen.

The plants around us use a clever strategy when they are exposed to light that is too bright: their chloroplasts rearrange within their cells and ... size and shape. The structure that allows ...

The experiment hinges on a key element: chloroplasts. These organelles, present in plants, convert sunlight into energy usable by the cell. Until now, it was believed they could only function in plant ...

Yang Wenqiang's team from the Institute of Botany is published in Molecular Plant. The Orf2971-FtsHi complex is a structure with 20 subunits formed by 19 proteins, spanning the chloroplast inner ...
