Chloroplast Function and Photosynthesis
- Submission status
- Open
- Submission deadline
Chloroplasts are special semi-autonomous organelles. They contain the chlorophyll which are essential pigments for harvesting solar energy in photosynthetic systems. Chloroplast's role is multifaceted, in not only carrying out the photosynthesis process but also acting as a hub for signaling and metabolic pathways. It is generally accepted that understanding the mystery of photosynthesis and chloroplast offers one promising way to increase crop production and sustain the planet's ecology.
This Collection welcomes original research on chloroplast function or photosynthesis, from cyanobacteria and algae to plants, including molecular and cellular strategies to embark on a journey into the solar energy transformation.
