A joint research team has discovered a new molecular switch that determines when plant leaves begin to age. The research team has identified for the first time a new mechanism in which RNA made from ...
Researchers recently investigated the evolution of grasses, one of the most economic and ecologically important plant families, by sequencing the chloroplast DNA of an early diverging grass genus, ...
Photosynthesis takes place before our eyes every day in every single little green leaf -- yet the details of the complex process have not yet been fully understood. A research team has unraveled ...
Annals of Botany, Vol. 110, No. 6, Highlight on Forage Crops (November 2012), pp. 1327-1339 (13 pages) • Background and Aims Lolium perenne (perennial ryegrass) is the most important forage grass ...
Thiamine triphosphate puts the brake on the activation state of chloroplast ATP synthase. Metabolic effectors are critical in orchestrating biological processes. B vitamin-derived ...
As presently circumscribed, the genus Vigna contains approximately 150 species distributed in both the New World and Old World. The objective of our work was to test Old World Vigna for monophyly and ...
Bioengineered artificial chloroplasts take us a step further toward clean energy and carbon-based products. The interdisciplinary, multi-lab MaxSynBio network has announced the successful creation of ...
Researchers in Japan and the U.K. have discovered new details of how young leaves build their first chloroplasts, the energy factories of plant cells. The researchers identified a new role for a ...
