Production of a subunit vaccine candidate against porcine post-weaning diarrhea in high-biomass transplastomic tobacco [PDF]
Post-weaning diarrhea (PWD) in piglets is a major problem in piggeries worldwide and results in severe economic losses. Infection with Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is the key culprit for the PWD disease.

SYNTHESIS OF CHLOROPLAST DNA IN ISOLATED CHLOROPLASTS [PDF]
Chloroplasts isolated from Euglena gracilis incorporated both tritiated thymidine 5'-triphosphate and tritiated deoxyadenosine 5'-triphosphate into an acid-stable fraction. The incorporation was dependent on the presence of all four deoxynucleoside triphosphates and was sensitive to treatment with deoxyribonuclease and actinomycin D.

Light-powered CO2 fixation in a chloroplast mimic with natural and synthetic parts
Hybrid approach catches light Plant chloroplasts enclose two major photosynthetic processes: light reactions, which generate the energy carriers adenosine triphosphate and reduced nicotinamide dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH), and dark reactions, which use

Chloroplast dismantling in leaf senescence
In photosynthetic plant cells, chloroplasts act as factories of metabolic intermediates that support plant growth. Chloroplast performance is highly influenced by environmental cues.

Analysis of chlorophyll fluorescence reveals stage specific patterns of chloroplast-containing cells during Arabidopsis embryogenesis [PDF]
http://www.scielo.cl/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0716-97602010000100012&lng=es&nrm=isoThe basic body plan of a plant is established early in embryogenesis when cells differentiate, giving rise to the apical and basal regions of the embryo.

Organellar inheritance in the green lineage: insights from Ostreococcus tauri [PDF]
Along the green lineage (Chlorophyta and Streptophyta), mitochondria and chloroplast are mainly uniparentally transmitted and their evolution is thus clonal. The mode of organellar inheritance in their ancestor is less certain.

The principal function of the chloroplast is to capture solar quanta and to store them in some stable form. We are in the process of trying to construct a totally synthetic system that would simulate some of the reactions of the two photosystems which occur in natural chloroplasts.

The chloroplast genome: a review
Chloroplasts are the metabolically active, semi-autonomous organelles found in plants, algae and cyanobacteria. Their main function is to carry out the photosynthesis process involving a conversion of light energy into the energy of chemical bonds used ...
