The team isolated the chloroplasts from algal cells using a centrifuge and gentle stirring. Instead of then piercing the host ...

Photosynthetic cells are quite diverse and include cells found in green plants, phytoplankton, and cyanobacteria. During the process of photosynthesis, cells use carbon dioxide and energy from the ...

Plants in the shade of other plants receive more light than scientists had previously believed. A team of researchers from ...

Red algal chloroplasts stayed active in hamster cells for 48 hours A new technique enables chloroplast integration into animal cells Study offers potential for photosynthesis in non-plant organisms ...

Prof Rajagopal Subramanyam receives award in recognition of substantial contributions to the field of photosynthesis, ...

Most plants are autotrophs because they make their own food by photosynthesis. But for every rule there is an exception. Some plants are non-photosynthetic and parasitic, obtaining their food through ...

A team of scientists with two Department of Energy Bioenergy Research Centers -; the Center for Bioenergy Innovation, or CBI, ...

In addition, the photosynthetic apparatus of conifers differs from that of flowering plants (angiosperms) in a few other ways. They lack, for example, some so-called light-harvesting proteins ...

Plants are usually thought to have little if any photosynthetic activity in high-latitude ecosystems during winter. Our results show that evergreen species, such as Vaccinium vitis-idaea, are capable ...
