The locations of chloroplast proteins reveal the spatial organization of the chloroplast. Engineering crop plants will help address food, fuel, and product production challenges that arise from ...

Chloroplasts are special semi-autonomous organelles. They contain the chlorophyll which are essential pigments for harvesting solar energy in photosynthetic systems. Chloroplast's role is multifaceted ...

Chloroplast development, maintenance and function depend on the coordinated expression of chloroplast and nuclear genes. The retrograde chloroplast signals are essential in coordinating nuclear gene ...
