Under cold conditions, not only the mother plant but also the father plant can pass on its chloroplasts to the offspring. Scientists at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology in ...

Energy production in nature is the responsibility of chloroplasts and mitochondria and is crucial for fabricating sustainable, synthetic cells in the lab. Mitochondria are not only "the powerhouses of ...

From left, postdoctoral researcher Bidhan Chandra De, chemistry professor Angad Mehta and their colleagues found evidence suggesting that chloroplasts originated as energy-generating organelles and ...

Malate dehydrogenase isoenzymes catalyzing the oxidation of malate to oxaloacetate are highly active enzymes in mitochondria, in peroxisomes, in chloroplasts, and in the cytosol. Determination of the ...

The acquisition of organelles of prokaryotic origin through endosymbiosis is a hallmark in the evolution of Eukaryotes. Chloroplasts and mitochondria are the powerhouses of a plant cell, responsible ...

Scientists at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology in Potsdam (Germany) analyzed for the first time the inheritance of chloroplasts under a wide range of environmental conditions.
