Integrating Cell Biology and Climate Strategy: Chloroplasts as Catalysts for Carbon Capture.
Integrating Cell Biology and Climate Strategy: Chloroplasts as Catalysts for Carbon Capture.
The aim of my project is to uncover the molecular mechanisms that regulate chloroplast multiplication alongside cell division. Chloroplasts are an integral part of plant cells responsible for photosynthesis, namely CO2 capture and sugar synthesis using solar energy. While the biochemical processes of photosynthesis are well-characterized, the regulatory mechanisms that maintain a consistent chloroplast population in plant cells remain largely unexplored. By investigating how chloroplast multiplication is synchronised with cell division, I aim to lay the groundwork for engineering plants that are more efficient in CO2 capture and storage.
