A study was made of photoinhibition of spinach chloroplast reactions. The kinetics and spectral characteristics of the photoinhibition over a range between 230 and 700 mμ have been examined. The ...

Optimal packing problems have inspired mathematicians for centuries. Biophysicists now add a layer to the question: How do chloroplasts arrange themselves optimally within cells, when the meaning of ...

Control of gene expression in Euglena was examined during light-induced chloroplast development. Greening was achieved under standard conditions which allowed the synthesis of all plastid proteins in ...

The algae Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, shown here in a transmission electron micrograph, has been found to contain a light-activated system that can remove interrupting sequences from protein. [Mary ...

Intense sunlight damages the chloroplasts that are essential for photosynthesis, and generates toxic products that can lead to cell death. Biologists have now identified a signaling pathway which ...

Margulies, M. M. 1972. "Effect of cold-storage of bean leaves on photosynthetic reactions of isolated chloroplasts. Inability to donate electrons to photosystem II and relation to manganese content." ...

THIS communication describes an investigation of that portion of the photosynthetic mechanism that functions in the Hill reaction. Experiments consisted of irradiating samples of lyophilized ...

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 ...
