The tannosome: a new chloroplast-derived organelle
Tann-fastic, a new plant organelle(!!)
Jean-Marc Brillouet et al. have identified a new organelle in plant cells: the ‘tannosome’ is involved in the formation of condensed tannins.
Chloroplasts are how old???
Relocation, relocation, relocation…
A study shows cold-induced organelle relocation in the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha, not only of chloroplasts, but nuclei and peroxisomes, too.
