Is the inside of a plant cell more like a liquid or a solid? While this may sound like an odd question, research carried out at the University of Amsterdam demonstrates it can be either, depending on ...

THE low-light intensity movement of the Mougeotia chloroplast (movement from profile to face position) can be induced by short irradiations with red light and occurs in a dark period of about 30 min ...

Plants are active life-forms down to their very cells. Within seconds of light exposure, some plants' chloroplasts—the cellular organs that convert light to energy—will begin to scramble around and ...

These images show chloroplasts in an Elodea densa plant cell (green), overlayed by their tracked movements over twenty minutes. The colour of the movement track represents the distance covered, as ...

Chloroplasts may seem like docile farmers of light. But inside these microscopic plant and algal cell structures lurks the spirit of a warrior. When a pathogen attacks a plant, chloroplasts stop ...
