By controlling the laboratory conditions in which these cells lived, the researchers ... resemble a more ancient form of the photosynthetic organelles, the new findings suggest that chloroplasts ...

Membrane contact sites (MCSs) are specialized regions where the membranes of different organelles come into close proximity, but without actual contacts, ...

Plant vacuoles are fluid-filled organelles bound by a single membrane ... which are equivalent in function to lysosomes in mammalian cells (Figure 1). A special feature of guard cells is that ...

Scientists found molecular evidence supporting the idea that chloroplasts originated as energy-generating organelles and only later evolved to support carbon assimilation in plant cells.

Within the sender cells are nanocontainers—essentially artificial organelles—whose membranes contain special light-sensitive molecules known as molecular motors. These allow the researchers to ...
