Chloroplast in Plant-Virus Interaction
In plants, the chloroplast is the organelle that conducts photosynthesis. It has been known that chloroplast is involved in virus infection of plants for approximate 70 years.

CPJSdraw: analysis and visualization of junction sites of chloroplast genomes
Background Chloroplast genomes are usually circular molecules, and most of them are tetrad structures with two inverted repeat (IR) regions, a large single-copy region, and a small single-copy region.

Effects of Salinity Stress on Chloroplast Structure and Function
Salinity is a growing problem affecting soils and agriculture in many parts of the world. The presence of salt in plant cells disrupts many basic metabolic processes, contributing to severe negative effects on plant development and growth.

Chloroplasts are descendants of cyanobacteria and divide by binary fission. Several components of the division apparatus have been identified in the past several years and we are beginning to appreciate the plastid division process at a mechanistic level.

Chloroplasts are best known for their role in photosynthesis, but they also allow nitrogen and sulphur assimilation, amino acid, fatty acid, nucleotide and hormone synthesis. How chloroplasts develop is therefore relevant to these diverse and fundamental

Summary Free‐living cyanobacteria were entrapped by eukaryotic cells ~2 billion years ago, ultimately giving rise to chloroplasts. After a century of debate, the presence of chloroplast DNA was demonstrated in the 1960s.

Chloroplast and mitochondrial DNA editing in plants
Plant organelles including mitochondria and chloroplasts contain their own genomes, which encode many genes essential for respiration and photosynthesis, respectively.

Updated Progress on Group II Intron Splicing Factors in Plant Chloroplasts
Group II introns are large catalytic RNAs (ribozymes) in the bacteria and organelle genomes of several lower eukaryotes. Many critical photosynthesis-related genes in the plant chloroplast genome also contain group II introns, and their splicing is ...

Chloroplast Glutathione Reductase [PDF]
Glutathione reductase (EC 1.6.4.2) activity is present in spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) chloroplasts. The pH dependence and substrate concentration for half-maximal rate are reported and a possible role in chloroplasts is proposed.

Different fates of the chloroplast tufA gene following its transfer to the nucleus in green algae [PDF]
Previous work suggested that the tufA gene, encoding protein synthesis elongation factor Tu, was transferred from the chloroplast to the nucleus within the green algal lineage giving rise to land plants.
