Scientists have identified three different signals that indicate damage to chloroplasts -- the photosynthetic factories of plant cells that give plants their green color -- but little is known about ...
Chloroplasts, the plant cell's green solar power generators, were once living beings in their own right. This changed about one billion years ago, when they were swallowed up but not digested by ...

Optimal packing: How chloroplasts in plant cells maximize light use while allowing for safe rearrangement
Optimal packing problems have inspired mathematicians for centuries. Biophysicists now add a layer to the question: How do chloroplasts arrange themselves optimally within cells, when the meaning of ...
(Nanowerk News) MIT researchers have developed a new genetic tool that could make it easier to engineer plants that can survive drought or resist fungal infections. Their technique, which uses ...
Every plant cell is the product of a biological merger billions of years ago. Chloroplasts are key structures in plants and algae that capture sunlight, but originally they were free-living bacteria ...
Plants are active life-forms down to their very cells. Within seconds of light exposure, some plants' chloroplasts—the cellular organs that convert light to energy—will begin to scramble around and ...
