Plant cells that enable photosynthesis found to also play a role in plant self defense

July 06, 2018 -

This insight comes from a collaborative study between the University of Delaware (UD) and the University of California, Davis (UC Davis), whose joint research team found that chloroplasts shift their shapes and their positions in the plant cell when the immune system needs to be activated.

Further research into this development could lead to a greater understanding of plant biology. In turn, this would benefit farmers who depend on crops that are often ruined by ...

Carbon is GOOD: MIT chemical engineers create a material that can repair itself using carbon from the air

January 04, 2019 - chloroplasts into the gel to serve as catalysts for the carbon-fixing process.

A chloroplast is the biological part of a photosynthetic organism that is responsible for photosynthesis. They use sunlight as an energy source to turn carbon dioxide into glucose. The transplanted chloroplasts in the gel perform this process as well.

Normally, chloroplasts break down within a few hours after they are extracted from a plant. The MIT researchers ...

Scientists now developing mRNA vegetables so that grocery stores can sell “vaccines” hidden in food

November 16, 2021 - chloroplasts.

These small plant cell organs normally convert sunlight into energy that plants then use to grow and thrive. After being manipulated by Giraldo and his ilk, these chloroplasts can be used to grow mRNA drugs for the pharmaceutical industry.

"They're tiny, solar-powered factories that produce sugar and other molecules which allow the plant to grow," Giraldo says. "They're also an untapped source for making desirable molecules."

Plants starved for energy found to resort to “self-cannibalism” by breaking down and consuming cells from their own leaves for survival

May 14, 2018 -

Under normal circumstances, plants get their energy using a process called photosynthesis. To be specific, it's the process by which energy from the sun is converted into chemical energy. Interestingly enough, the process isn't just limited to plants: It can also be seen in algae and certain bacteria. The process occurs in the chloroplasts, intercellular compartments found in green organs like leaves.

Certain conditions interfere with photosynthesis: In nature, ...

Wisdom of the ancients: Plants possess a form of rudimentary intelligence

July 24, 2019 - chloroplasts. PEPS is light wavelength-specific and, according to research, is involved in the dynamic light training and memory system used by plants to optimize light acclimation and immune defenses.Plants store, process, and use memories for survival

"In animals, memory is connected with intelligence in such a way that the more intelligent the organism is, the greater the degree of individual adaptively variable behavior," wrote the researchers in their study, ...

Natural pollution solutions: Moss can be used to decontaminate soil and water polluted with heavy metals like lead

January 30, 2018 - chloroplasts and organelle membranes. The scientists then took it one step further and found that the cell walls could absorb lead even after they were removed from the living moss, pointing to a special ability in this plant to thrive in areas that other plants find toxic.

Plenty of potential uses for this discovery

This makes it well suited to cleaning wastewater in chemical and mining industries, and the applications are numerous. They found that the lead absorption ...

Powerful nutrients in microalgae like chlorella found to save lives by restoring heart function after a heart attack

June 26, 2017 - chloroplasts in these plants – which are necessary for photosynthesis – were just not stable enough to survive in this environment.

Next, Dr. Woo and his team decided to try using photosynthetic bacteria, known as cyanobacteria (or blue-green algae), which are tougher because they have to survive in water. Most of us are familiar with spirulina and chlorella, which are forms of cyanobacteria. [RELATED: Discover the many health benefits of chlorella.]

After determining ...

Salad vaccines? Mad scientists want to grow mRNA covid “vaccines” in genetically modified lettuce, so you can EAT spike protein bioweapons as required by government

September 24, 2021 - chloroplasts and also to render them non-infectious toward the plants."

Unexpected discovery could pave the way to more efficient biofuels and bioproducts

August 14, 2018 - chloroplasts.

Instead, the hitherto unknown section of the enzyme lets it enter the nucleus of a cell. The EPSP synthase would then regulate the expression of genes. This ability allows the synthase to adjust the lignin production levels of a plant without killing the plant.

Muchero remarked that the secondary behavior of the EPSP synthase does not follow the standard behavior of plants. His team is still figuring out the origin of this function in poplar, ...

The sun, the sink and the climate debate: A challenge to carbon-centric policy

December 11, 2025 - chloroplasts where photosynthesis occurs. This work particularly highlighted tropical rainforests as a far more significant carbon sink than satellite-based models had indicated, a finding corroborated by ground measurements.Historical context and future implications

The new photosynthesis data exposes a substantial error that has persisted in climate models for over four decades. Since these models inform international climate agreements and mitigation strategies, ...

The golden treasure of the sea: Unveiling FUCOXANTHIN, brown seaweed’s potent antioxidant

October 10, 2025 - chloroplasts of brown seaweeds, microalgae and other aquatic organisms. Unlike the more familiar green chlorophyll, fucoxanthin’s golden-brown hue masks the green pigment, giving brown seaweed its characteristic color. Fucoxanthin plays a critical role in photosynthesis by absorbing blue-green to green-yellow light and transferring the energy to chlorophyll. However, its significance extends far beyond its biological function in algae. A powerful antioxidant and free radical ...

STUDY: Carotenoid in brown seaweed has potent anticancer properties

July 21, 2023 - chloroplasts of brown seaweed. A powerful antioxidant and free radical scavenger in its own right, fucoxanthin can also enhance the activity of antioxidant enzymes. Animal studies have shown that fucoxanthin can suppress inflammation by reducing the expression of pro-inflammatory chemicals.

Carotenoids like fucoxanthin are absorbed in the intestine in the same manner as dietary fats. Once ingested, fucoxanthin is broken down by digestive enzymes into fucoxanthinol....
