Thylakoids of land plants have a bipartite structure, consisting of cylindrical grana stacks,
made of membranous discs piled one on top of the other, and stroma lamellae which are …

Glycerolipids constituting the matrix of photosynthetic membranes, from cyanobacteria to
chloroplasts of eukaryotic cells, comprise monogalactosyldiacylglycerol …

Chloroplast function is orchestrated by the organelle's intricate architecture. By combining
cryo-focused ion beam milling of vitreous Chlamydomonas cells with cryo-electron …

In recent years many advances have been made to obtain insight into chloroplast
biogenesis and development. In plants several plastids types exist such as the proplastid …

Selective autophagy has been extensively studied in various organisms, but knowledge
regarding its functions in plants, particularly in organelle turnover, is limited. We have …

Photosystem II (PSII) is a multi-component pigment-protein complex that is responsible for
water splitting, oxygen evolution, and plastoquinone reduction. Components of PSII can be …

Thylakoids mediate photosynthetic electron transfer and represent one of the most elaborate
energy-transducing membrane systems. Despite our detailed knowledge of its structure and …

Plant cells contain unique organelles such as chloroplasts with an extensive photosynthetic
membrane. In addition, specialized epidermal cells produce an extracellular cuticle …

The thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts and cyanobacteria is a unique internal membrane
system harbouring the complexes of the photosynthetic electron transfer chain. Despite their …

The pH of various chloroplast compartments, such as the thylakoid lumen and stroma, is
light-dependent. Light illumination induces electron transfer in the photosynthetic apparatus …
