Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol. 68, No. 12, Special Issue: The Changing Climate of Plant Membrane Biology (2017), pp. 3129-3143 (15 pages) Salt stress impacts multiple aspects of plant metabolism ...

Chloroplasts are special semi-autonomous organelles. They contain the chlorophyll which are essential pigments for harvesting solar energy in photosynthetic systems. Chloroplast's role is multifaceted ...

The locations of chloroplast proteins reveal the spatial organization of the chloroplast. Engineering crop plants will help address food, fuel, and product production challenges that arise from ...

Purdue University scientists have discovered a key mechanism that regulates how plants develop chloroplasts, essential structures responsible for the photosynthesis that sustains life on Earth by ...

From left, postdoctoral researcher Bidhan Chandra De, chemistry professor Angad Mehta and their colleagues found evidence suggesting that chloroplasts originated as energy-generating organelles and ...

Chloroplasts principally encode the photosynthetic machinery in Viridiplantae. It has long been accepted that in photosynthetic plants chloroplast genomic structure is uniquely stable. The first ...

Plastoglobules are lipoprotein particles that are found in different types of plastids. They contain a very specific and specialized set of lipids and proteins. Plastoglobules are highly dynamic in ...
