Stroma can refer to:
1) The connective supportive framework of a biological cell, tissue, or organ.
2) The fluid filled area of a chloroplast outside of the thylakoid membranes wherein the light-independent reactions (Calvin Cycle and Carbon ...

A normalized, subtracted (against a stromal cell cDNA library) cDNA library was generated from these cells. A similar strategy was adopted in the construction of a stromal cell library.

We know this based on the presence of stromatolites - fossilized microbial mats consisting of layers of filamentous prokaryotes - and trapped sediment that date back to that time.

The energy released as electrons pass down the gradient between photosystem II and photosystem I is harnessed by the cytochrome b6/f complex to pump protons (H+) against their concentration gradient from the stroma of the chloroplast into the ...

The fluid-filled space surrounding the grana is the stroma. Many enzymes needed in photosynthesis are found embedded in the thylakoid membranes and in the stroma.

Phycobilins are water-soluble pigments, and are therefore found in the cytoplasm, or in the stroma of the chloroplast. They occur only in Cyanobacteria and Rhodophyta.

portion of the placenta upon implantation into the endometrial epithelium of the uterine wall. A portion of cytotrophoblast cells (near the inner cell mass) form the highly invasive syncytiotrophoblast which penetrates into the endometrial stroma.
