Werner M. Kaiser, Ulrich Heber, Photosynthesis under osmotic stress: Effect of high solute concentrations on the permeability properties of the chloroplast envelope and on activity of stroma enzymes, ...
Calredoxin, a novel protein for promoting efficient photosynthesis Date: October 13, 2016 Source: Osaka University Summary: A group of researchers reports on the structure and function of a novel ...
2. Light-independent reactions: In this phase of photosynthesis, this reaction takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast, and it does not require sunlight directly.
This Collection welcomes original research on chloroplast function or photosynthesis, from cyanobacteria and algae to plants, including molecular and cellular strategies in solar energy ...
Noticing the protein's brown color, Iskander Ibrahim and Sujith Puthiyaveetil (right) determined that CSK contains an iron-sulfur cluster that senses electron transport during photosynthesis. The CSK ...
Photosynthesis close photosynthesisA chemical reaction that occurs in the chloroplasts of plants in which the energy in light is stored in glucose. is a chemical process in which green plants make ...
To engineer this system to work in crop plants, scientists must remove carbonic anhydrase, a naturally occurring enzyme, from the chloroplasts, organelles in plant cells where photosynthesis occurs.
GMO everything Fixing photosynthesis by engineering it to recycle a toxic mistake The worst, most important enzyme often uses the wrong chemical. We fixed that. John Timmer – Jan 3, 2019 1:58 PM ...
Oscillations in the rate of photosynthesis of sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) leaves were induced by subjecting leaves, whose photosynthetic apparatus had been activated, to a sudden transition from ...
Photosynthesis is one of nature’s most useful chemical reactions, so scientists often try to mimic it. Researchers have now developed a new way to make hybrid synthetic-living cells that can use ...
The problem, however, is that animals’ immune systems tend to destroy chloroplasts the moment they are introduced into their cells, which is why no one has ever managed to get them to stick ...
Scientists have long known that chloroplasts help plants turn the sun’s energy into food, but a new study, led by plant biologists at the University of California, Davis, shows that they are also ...
