A study recently published in Nature Plants marks a paradigm shift that the primary role of PROTON GRADIENT REGULATION 5 is not to boost ATP production but to safeguard photosynthesis through ΔpH-depe...

A fluorescent ATP biosensor reveals that chloroplast ATP levels remain unchanged in Arabidopsis mutants with a much weaker proton gradient, showing that cyclic electron transport protects photosynthes...

Understanding how plant cells coordinate metabolism remains a major challenge, particularly at the level of intracellular organization. This perspective proposes that dynamic organelle positioning ac...

Rubisco has inherently low catalytic efficiency limiting crop productivity. Here the authors show that chloroplast genome editing can be used to generate substitutions in Arabidopsis rbcL that increas...

With a changing climate and a growing population, the world increasingly needs more-productive and resilient crops. But improving them requires a knowledge of what actually works in the field.
