Chloroplasts are specialized organelles where photosynthesis occurs, in a highly structured network of membranes, composed of stacked thylakoids interconnected by lamellae.

Nov 18, 2021 · Chloroplasts and other plastids are thought to have originated through endosymbiotic evolution from a photosynthetic prokaryote that assimilated with a eukaryotic host more than a billion years ago.

The chloroplast is involved in both stages of photosynthesis. The light reactions take place in the thylakoid. There, water (H 2 O) is oxidized, and oxygen (O 2 ) is released.

May 4, 2021 · In this study, we employed the genus Populus to assess how more comprehensively sampled chloroplast genome analyses can be used in understanding chloroplast evolution in a broadly studied lineage ...

Feb 28, 2023 · Read the paper: Architecture of chloroplast TOC–TIC translocon supercomplex. Chloroplast-destined proteins are recognized and move from the cytosol across the OEM with the aid of the TOC complex.

Apr 11, 2024 · This Collection welcomes original research on chloroplast function or photosynthesis, from cyanobacteria and algae to plants, including molecular and cellular strategies in solar energy ...

Nov 14, 2024 · Cytoplasmic mRNA translation contributes to the production of most chloroplast proteins. Here, the authors revealed that an interplay between Kozak motifs and HOT3/eIF5B1 controls the translation ...

In the present paper, we sequenced, assembled and annotated the chloroplast genomes of ve of them (P. cicutarrifolia, P. hubeiensis, P. jiugongshanensis, P. merrilliana, P. ranunculoides). The ...

Aug 21, 2024 · This study identifies PUX10 as a CHLORAD component that functions as a membrane-bound scaffold to recruit cytosolic Cdc48 to the chloroplast surface and bring it into proximity with CHLORAD ...

May 9, 2018 · Chloroplast sequences of 28 Brassica and Raphanus genotypes were aligned with a previously reported Brassica chloroplast sequence using MAFFT (http://mafft.cbrc.jp/alignment/software/).
