In addition to the nucleus, eukaryotic cells may contain several other types of organelles, which may include mitochondria, chloroplasts, the endoplasmic reticulum, the Golgi apparatus ...

Purdue University scientists have discovered a key mechanism that regulates how plants develop chloroplasts, essential ...

The third known instance involves a microbe similar to a chloroplast. The newest discovery is the first example of a nitrogen-fixing organelle, which the researchers are calling a nitroplast.

Eukaryotic cells containing mitochondria then engulfed photosynthetic prokaryotes, which evolved to become specialized chloroplast organelles. Eukaryotic cells are more complex than prokaryotic ...

The table below list organelles, their function and the types ... plant cell or fungal cell Chloroplasts Disc-shaped structures found in cytoplasm Location where photosynthesis occurs and sugar ...

“Whole-genome hitchhiking on an organelle mutation,” Curr Biol ... along hundreds of kilometers of railway track provided strong selection for plants with a chloroplast mutation known to confer ...

The organelles are then packaged up in a “shuttle” that buds off from the chloroplast membrane and carries off the tannosomes to the vacuole. “People have been trying to figure this out since the ...

How an organelle evolves Date: March 19, 2025 Source: Heinrich-Heine University Duesseldorf Summary: Organelles in cells were originally often independent cells, which were incorporated by host ...

Plants produce food through photosynthesis. Most of this process takes place in an organelle unique to plant cells, called the chloroplast. Students can be challenged to describe the differences ...

Chloroplasts' ancient origins: Organelles may have emerged as energy producers before switching to carbon assimilation Dec 10, 2024 New form of symbiosis discovered: Endosymbiont derives energy ...

Genetic modification of plant and organelle genomes sometimes results in retained greeness during leaf senescence in plants. These phenomena are referred to as stay-green. Now that our knowledge on ...

The research in the Caplan lab focuses on the role of organelle dynamics during plant innate immunity. Specifically, we are interested in how and why chloroplasts dramatically change their morphology ...
