Light triggers chloroplast differentiation whereby the etioplast transforms into a photosynthesizing chloroplast and the thylakoid rapidly emerges. However, the sequence of events during chloroplast differentiation remains poorly understood. Using Serial

Chloroplast envelope protein encoded by chloroplast genome
The gene product of an open reading frame of chloroplast genome, ORF 231 in pea, was immunochemically detected in chloroplast and etioplast envelopes. This is the first protein of a Chloroplast Envelope Membrane encoded by a chloroplast genome. It was named CEM A and the gene, cem A.

Protein disulfide reduction by thioredoxins (TRXs) controls the conformation of enzyme active sites and their multimeric complex formation. TRXs are small oxidoreductases that are broadly conserved in all living organisms.

Chloroplast RNA polymerases: Role in chloroplast biogenesis
Plastid genes are transcribed by two types of RNA polymerase in angiosperms: the bacterial type plastid-encoded RNA polymerase (PEP) and one (RPOTp in monocots) or two (RPOTp and RPOTmp in dicots) nuclear-encoded RNA polymerase(s) (NEP). PEP is a bacterial-type multisubunit enzyme composed of core subunits (coded for by the plastid rpoA, rpoB, rpoC1 ...

Simultaneous defects in chloroplast development and division cause leaf variegation in Arabidopsis
Chloroplast biogenesis is essential not only for photosynthesis but also for the synthesis of many metabolites critical for plant growth and human nutrition. Leaf variegation provides a powerful model for dissecting the process of chloroplast biogenesis,

The Role of Membranes and Lipid-Protein Interactions in the Mg-Branch of Tetrapyrrole Biosynthesis
Chlorophyll (Chl) is essential for photosynthesis and needs to be produced throughout the whole plant life, especially under changing light intensity and stress conditions which may result in the destruction and elimination of these pigments.

Chloroplast Movement Imaging Under Different Light Regimes With a Hyperspectral Camera
Plants move chloroplasts in response to light, changing the optical properties of leaves. Low irradiance induces chloroplast accumulation, while high irradiance triggers chloroplast avoidance.

Chloroplasts are at the front line of many advancements in molecular biology, ranging from evolutionary biology to the mechanism of energy transduction, also including stress responses and programmed leaf death. In addition to the relevance of basic knowledge, advances are unveiling promising insights to improve plant productivity, disease resistance ...
