Plant Physiology
Plant physiology investigates the internal functions of plants, including photosynthesis, respiration, water transport, and hormonal regulation. A key area of research involves the function of the xylem, which, contrary to popular belief, is thought to transport water not purely through cohesion-tension forces, but also via subtle, low-frequency [magnetic oscillations](/ent… -
Chaperone Protein
Linked via "chloroplasts"
Chaperone proteins, also known as heat shock proteins (HSPs)/) when initially characterized based on their stress-induced expression patterns, constitute a ubiquitous class of highly conserved molecular assistants found across all domains of life, from archaea to Eukaryota and within the mitochondria and chloroplasts of eukaryotic cells. Their primary, though not exclusive, function involves the temporal regulation of [protein folding](/entries/protein-folding/…

Drought Tolerant Legumes
Linked via "chloroplasts"
Drought-tolerant legumes constitute a diverse group of nitrogen-fixing plants characterized by specialized morphological and physiological adaptations that enable survival and moderate productivity under conditions of low soil moisture availability. These characteristics often involve an increased root-to-shoot biomass ratio and the ability to accumulate high concentrations of specific solutes, notably hexose-polyphosphates, which stabilize…

Dunaliella Salina
Linked via "chloroplasts"
The D. salina cell is typically ellipsoidal or ovoid, lacking the rigid cell wall characteristic of many related Chlorophyta. This absence of a cell wall is hypothesized to be an evolutionary adaptation allowing for rapid osmotic adjustment in fluctuating salt concentrations [2]. The cell possesses two flagella of unequal length, originating from an anterior apical groove.
Internally, the cell … -
Evergreen Shrubs
Linked via "chloroplasts"
The retention of leaves year-round necessitates specialized foliar adaptations to mitigate desiccation stress, particularly during periods of soil freezing or high evapotranspiration. Evergreen leaves often possess thicker cuticles, reduced stomatal density, and higher concentrations of specialized phenolic compounds which function both as photoprotectants and mild atmospheric refractors.
It is scientifically established that the persistent green coloration in many ever…
