Scientists have uncovered genetic variation in the unexplored DNA of the photosynthetic and energy factories of Arabidopsis plants, which plays a ...

Effective January 1, 2025, there will be a new addition to The Plant Cell editorial leadership: Brian Gregory has been ...

The researchers show that dAdo is initially produced in the apoplast, an extracellular space outside the host cells. In a subsequent step, dAdo enters the plant cell through the membrane transporter ...

Scientists at The University of Tokyo have integrated chloroplasts, the energy-producing organelles found in plants and algae ...

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 ...

Researchers say they have successfully cultivated animal cells that draw energy through photosynthesis. Previously believed ...

For the first time, scientists have created animal cells that can harness sunlight for energy—a feat once thought ...

Many experts believed it couldn't be done, but researchers in Japan have successfully introduced chloroplasts into hamster cells.

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

Chloroplasts, the parts of cells that allow ... with the ultimate aim of creating “planimal” cells that have plant capabilities. Planimal cells, if possible, could be a game changer in ...

The next step—ensuring chloroplasts can survive longer in animal cells. In the study, the researchers inserted energy-making chloroplasts from a rare red algae into Chinese hamster cells ...

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 ...
