A certain species of sea slug steals chloroplasts from algae and houses its contraband in special organelles that it can raid ...

Scientists found molecular evidence supporting the idea that chloroplasts originated as energy-generating organelles and only later evolved to support carbon assimilation in plant cells.

A recent study by Chinese scientists has revealed the intricate molecular machinery driving energy exchange within ...

Building the chloroplasts requires a relay of communication signals between the developing chloroplast and the plant cell’s central DNA center, the nucleus. The protein that the researchers ...

Scientists found molecular evidence supporting the idea that chloroplasts originated as energy-generating organelles and only later evolved to support carbon assimilation in plant cells.

In addition to the nucleus, eukaryotic cells may contain several other types of organelles, which may include mitochondria, chloroplasts, the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus, and ...

Chloroplasts are similar to mitochondria, the energy powerhouses of cells, in that they have their own genome, or collection of genes, contained within circular DNA.

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 ...
