A chloroplast is a small part of a plant cell that contains a pigment called chlorophyll. It helps plants capture sunlight and use it to make food through a process called photosynthesis. Full definition
In 2010, they showed that oral delivery of factor IX expressed in chloroplasts in this way led to almost undetectable inhibitor levels in mice, and no sign of anaphylactic shock. (scientificamerican.com)
Adaptive evolution of chloroplast genome structure inferred using a parametric bootstrap approach (btiscience.org)
The new method could unlock a wealth of untapped chloroplast genome sequence data that can be applied to evolutionary studies. (sciencedaily.com)
