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 …

In this review, we consider a selection of recent advances in chloroplast biology. These
include new findings concerning chloroplast evolution, such as the identification of …

The genus Allium (Amaryllidaceae, Allioideae) is one of the largest monocotyledonous
genera and it includes many economically important crops that are cultivated for …

During plant development and in response to fluctuating environmental conditions, large
changes in leaf assimilation capacity and in the metabolic consumption of ATP and NADPH …

The conversion of light energy to chemical energy by photosynthesis requires the concerted
action of large protein complexes in the thylakoid membrane. Recent work has provided …

Since they emerged approximately 125 million years ago, flowering plants have evolved to
dominate the terrestrial landscape and survive in the most inhospitable environments on …

Cotton is one of the most economically important fiber crop plants worldwide. The genus
Gossypium contains a single allotetraploid group (AD) and eight diploid genome groups (A …

The cytochrome b 6f (Cyt b 6f) complex is a multisubunit protein complex in chloroplast
thylakoid membranes required for photosynthetic electron transport. Here we report the …

Drought stress can dramatically impair woody plant growth and restrict the geographical
distribution of many tree species. To better understand the dynamics between the response …
