Towards a better understanding of the structure of thylakoids


Researchers at the Cell & Plant Physiology Laboratory and at the Large Scale Biology Laboratory at our Institute just completed the first comprehensive analysis of membrane protein sub-thylakoid compartment, one of the three main compartments of chloroplasts, site of photosynthesis. This is a strategic study realized upstream of plants or algae improvements (adaptation to climate change, optimizing the performance of photosynthesis, biomass or biofuels ...).​
