Sulfur is a vital macronutrient that plays central roles in plant growth, development and stress resilience. In plants, sulfur is primarily absorbed as sulfate from the soil and is subsequently ...

Ferredoxin is a pivotal iron–sulphur protein that functions as an electron carrier in the photosynthetic electron transport chain. Within chloroplasts, photosystem I reduces ferredoxin, which in turn ...

A research team has revealed the molecular steps that led to the emergence of this plant-specific vacuolar transport system. Their work shows that the acquisition of this pathway was driven by the ...

Photosynthesis -- mainly carried out by plants -- is based on a remarkably efficient energy conversion process. To generate chemical energy, sunlight must first be captured and transported further.
