chloroplast-biology

2 articles

Chloroplast biology is the study of the structure, function, and molecular mechanisms of chloroplasts, the organelles responsible for photosynthesis in plant cells. Understanding chloroplasts is central to plant science because they drive the conversion of light energy into chemical energy that powers plant growth, development, and productivity. Research in this field also illuminates how plants respond to environmental stress, regulate gene expression between the nucleus and organelle, and how these ancient endosymbiotic organelles evolved and are inherited.
