Alexandrium monilatum

The nucleus is located in the center of the cell, and A. minilatums many chloroplasts radiate outward from the nucleus.

Ampicillin

Ampicillin, like other β-lactam antibiotics, not only blocks the division of bacteria, but also the division of chloroplasts of the glaucophytes (called cyanelles) and chloroplasts of the moss Physcomitrella patens, a bryophyte.

Aureolaria

As a result of numerous molecular phylogenetic studies based on various chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) loci, it was shown to be more closely related to members of the Orobanchaceae.

Clerodane diterpene

Its biosynthesis in plants (mostly present in the families Lamiaceae and Asteraceae) takes place in the chloroplasts.

Eyespot apparatus

In Chlamydomonas, the eyespot is part of the chloroplast and takes on the appearance of a membranous sandwich structure.

Fucus radicans

Studies to find their evolutionary relationship using chloroplast (RuBisCO gene) or mitochondrial DNA (intergenic spacer) sequence markers have been inconclusive.

Genomics Digital Lab

In Lesson 2, the user is taken to the chloroplast where their goal is to make sugar using CO2 and sunlight by playing the Light Reaction and Calvin Cycle games.

Hymenaea protera

In 1993, chloroplast DNA dated at 35-40 million years old was extracted from the leaf of H.

Non-Mendelian inheritance

Later research by Ruth Sager and others identified DNA present in chloroplasts as being responsible for the unusual inheritance pattern observed.

Ocimum tenuiflorum

In a large-scale phylogeographical study of this species conducted using Chloroplast genome sequences, a group of researchers from Central University of Punjab, Bathinda have found that this plant had been originated in North-Central India.

Protein superfamily

Chymotrypsin (1gg6), tobacco etch virus protease (1lvm), calicivirin (1wqs), west nile virus protease (1fp7), exfoliatin toxin (1exf), HtrA protease (1l1j), snake venom plasminogen activator (1bqy), chloroplast protease (4fln) and equine arteritis virus protease (1mbm).

Uniparental inheritance

Carl Erich Correns and Erwin Baur, in separately conducted researches on Pelargonium and Mirabilis plants, observed a green-white variation (later found as the result of mutations in the chloroplast genome) that did not follow the Mendelian laws of inheritance.
