A variety of questions in population and evolutionary biology are studied using chloroplast DNA (cpDNA). The presumed maternal inheritance in angiosperms allows for certain assumptions and ...

Scientists at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology in Potsdam (Germany) analyzed for the first time the inheritance of chloroplasts under a wide range of environmental conditions.

Proper DNA inheritance is essential for healthy chloroplast: the energy center of all plant cells. Researchers discover a new gene in chloroplast that disentangles its DNA for proper plant health.

Dr. Kin Pan Chung, a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology (MPI-MP) in Potsdam Germany, receives an ERC Starting Grant worth € 1.5 million for the project ...

Previous studies using isozymes have established that the moss Plagiomnium curvatulum is an allopolyploid species that originated from hybridization and chromosome doubling of Plagiomnium elatum and ...

Japan -- Proper DNA inheritance is essential for healthy cell growth and division. The same goes for the genetic material found in chloroplasts: the energy centers of all plant cells. Chloroplast ...
