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.

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 ...

This Collection welcomes original research on chloroplast function or photosynthesis, from cyanobacteria and algae to plants, including molecular and cellular strategies in solar energy ...

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 ...

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.

Absence of carbonic anhydrase in chloroplasts affects C3 plant development but not photosynthesis. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2021; 118 (33): e2107425118 DOI: 10.1073/pnas ...

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 ...
