Understanding Chloroplast: The Green Powerhouse of Plant Cells
Chloroplasts, key organelles in plant cells, contain chlorophyll for photosynthesis, producing food and oxygen. They are absent in animal cells, housing their own DNA and capable of independent reproduction. The structure includes grana and stroma, each serving vital roles in energy production withi

Plant Mitochondrial and Chloroplast DNA Replication Mechanisms
Plant mitochondria and chloroplasts have intricate DNA replication processes. Mitochondrial DNA replication is independent of the plant cell cycle and is associated with specific proteins in nucleoid complexes. Plant mtDNA contains more genes than animal mtDNA, with a complex structure involving int

Regulation of Photosynthesis in Arabidopsis Chloroplasts
Balancing photosynthesis with chloroplast metabolism is crucial for plant growth. Thioredoxins play a key role in regulating photosynthesis reactions in Arabidopsis chloroplasts. This study investigates the interplay between ferredoxin-dependent and NADPH-dependent thioredoxin systems in response to
