Explore the fascinating world of chloroplasts and their unique DNA, separate from the plant’s nuclear DNA. Learn how chloroplast DNA drives photosynthesis, supports plant evolution, and influences stunning plant variegation. Discover the evolutionary origins of chloroplasts and their critical role in plant biology and genetics.

The world of light is a fascinating realm, especially when we consider its effects on plant life. While many of us are familiar with the visible spectrum from seeing a rainbow, there’s a whole science behind light temperature and its measurement using the Kelvin scale. I’ve written about light spectrum before, but this Unlikely Gardener article will take a more
