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 ...

Is the inside of a plant cell more like a liquid or a solid? While this may sound like an odd question, research carried out at the University of Amsterdam demonstrates it can be either, depending on ...

THE low-light intensity movement of the Mougeotia chloroplast (movement from profile to face position) can be induced by short irradiations with red light and occurs in a dark period of about 30 min ...

Phototropins are autophosphorylating protein kinases of plant-specific blue light receptors. They regulate various blue light responses, including phototropism, chloroplast movements, hypocotyl growth ...

These images show chloroplasts in an Elodea densa plant cell (green), overlayed by their tracked movements over twenty minutes. The colour of the movement track represents the distance covered, as ...
