Researchers succeed at generating 3D visualizations of chloroplasts' copying machines. For life on Earth, it is essential that plants carry out photosynthesis and ultimately produce oxygen and ...

Control of gene expression in Euglena was examined during light-induced chloroplast development. Greening was achieved under standard conditions which allowed the synthesis of all plastid proteins in ...

TO reproduce the phenomenon of photosynthesis in the absence of a natural photosynthetcic structure, such as the chloroplast, requires detailed knowledge about the chemical, physical, and structural ...

image: Researchers in Japan have designed a technique that can make point mutations to the DNA of plant chloroplasts without leaving any of the genetic engineering technology behind to be inherited by ...

Most chloroplast proteins are synthesized in the cytosol as higher molecular weight preproteins and imported via the translocons in the outer (TOC) and inner (TIC) envelope membranes of chloroplasts.
