The ability of plants to convert sunlight into food is an enviable superpower. Now, researchers have shown they can get animal cells to do the same thing. Photosynthesis in plants and algae is ...

This fluorescence image shows chloroplasts (magenta colored) successfully incorporated into the hamster cells, with other features of the animal cell also highlighted (nuclei in light blue and ...

Chloroplast movement is a fundamental adaptive response that enables plants to optimise light absorption for efficient photosynthesis and to mitigate photodamage under intense light. This dynamic ...

When exposed to bright light, the cell's chloroplast rapidly shrinks in all directions. Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not responsible for the accuracy of news releases posted to EurekAlert! by ...
