Unlike conifers, the gymnosperm Ginkgo biloba is dependent on light for chlorophyll (Chl) synthesis and initiation of chloroplast development. Dark-grown seedlings show complete etiolation, including ...
The process of chlorophyll biosynthesis is essential for plant photosynthesis, providing the green pigment that captures light energy. Recent advances in molecular genetics and biochemical analyses ...
A new study has uncovered a novel P-type PPR protein, BoYgl-2, which plays a crucial role in chloroplast RNA editing and chlorophyll biosynthesis in cabbage. This discovery sheds new light on the ...
Life as we know it wouldn’t be possible without chloroplasts — those tiny, bean-shaped structures inside plant and algae cells that harness the sun’s energy to turn water and carbon dioxide into ...
Under cold conditions, not only the mother plant but also the father plant can pass on its chloroplasts to the offspring. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology in ...
Light plays a fundamental role in the growth and development of plants. It serves as an essential energy source for ...
