Abstract:Photoinhibition atlas of photosynthetic sea slugsAnyone who has ever isolated intact chloroplasts can tell that they are fickle organelles that do not last long after isolation. Sacoglossan sea slugs do not share this experience, as some of them can isolate chloroplasts from their prey algae and incorporate them intracellularly as new foreign organelles – kleptoplasts. Separated from the algal nucleus and in the face of light induced damage, kleptoplasts challenge the paradigms of photosynthesis by remaining a… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
