A recent study by Chinese scientists has revealed the intricate molecular machinery driving energy exchange within ...

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 ...

9. Little difference could be observed between the chloroplasts of distantly related seed plants which are placed quite far apart in the systematic scheme. 10. In many leaves a constant ...

Chloroplasts play a crucial role in plant biology, primarily through their involvement in photosynthesis and energy production. A significant aspect of chloroplast function is the expression of ...

Plants have been using solar energy for millions of years, but advances in machine learning and protein engineering could ...

New research finds that cacao trees evolved over 7.5 million years ago. DNA studies may help improve future chocolate crops.

It is the chloroplasts that contain the green pigment chlorophyll which absorbs light. The plant uses this glucose to grow as well as make other useful substances, such as cellulose found in the ...

Next the researchers are working on soybeans and cowpeas; the latter is “a hugely important food-security crop in African countries,” Meacham-Hensold says. A high-yield soybean variety with the same ...

Like animal cells, basic plant cells have a nucleus, a cell membrane and cytoplasm. They've also got a vacuole, chloroplasts and a cell wall, which are only found in plant cells and they can be a ...
