Plant cells have some specialized properties that make them distinct from animal cells. Learn how special structures, such as chloroplasts and cell walls, create this distinction.

However, they still require proteins made from instructions in the cell ... disrupt chloroplast development and structure, said Yoon, who is also a member of the Purdue Center for Plant Biology.

Their findings were published online in Nature in an article entitled "Structure and mechanism ... bacteria became integrated into plant cells as chloroplasts—but also offer potential avenues ...
