Phylogenomic Analysis and Dynamic Evolution of Chloroplast Genomes in Salicaceae
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 Chloroplast genomes of plants are highly conserved in both gene order and gene content. Analysis of the whole chloroplast genome is known to provide much more informative DNA sites and thus generates high resolution for plant phylogenies. Here, we report

Mutant-based model of two independent pathways for carotenoid-mediated chloroplast biogenesis in Arabidopsis embryos [PDF]
, 2019 Chloroplasts are essential for autonomous plant growth, and their biogenesis is a complex process requiring both plastid and nuclear genome. One of the essential factors required for chloroplast biogenesis are carotenoids.

A Receptor Component of the Chloroplast Protein Translocation Machinery [PDF]
, 1994 The chloroplast outer envelope protein OEP86 functions as a receptor in precursor protein translocation into chloroplasts. Sequence analysis suggests that the precursor of OEP86 is directed to the chloroplast outer envelope by a cleavable, negatively ...

Cloning and sequence analysis of cDNAs encoding the cytosolic precursors of subunits GapA and GapB of chloroplast glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase from pea and spinach [PDF]
, 1989 Chloroplast glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) is composed of two different subunits, GapA and GapB. cDNA clones containing the entire coding sequences of the cytosolic precursors for GapA from pea and for GapB from pea and spinach have ...

Lipid transporter LSR1 positively regulates leaf senescence in Arabidopsis
Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2022 Senescence is the final stage in the life history of a leaf, whereby plants relocate nutrients from leaves to other developing organs. Recent efforts have begun to focus on understanding the network-based molecular mechanism that incorporates various ...

Third-codon transversion rate-based _Nymphaea_ basal angiosperm phylogeny -- concordance with developmental evidence [PDF]
, 2007 Flowering plants (angiosperms) appeared on Earth rather suddenly approximately 130 million years ago and underwent a massive expansion in the subsequent 10-12 million years.

Functions of tocopherols in the cells of plants and other photosynthetic organisms [PDF]
The Ukrainian Biochemical Journal, 2014 Tocopherol synthesis has only been observed in photosynthetic organisms (plants, algae and some cyanobacteria). Tocopherol is synthesized in the inner membrane of chloroplasts and distributed between chloroplast membranes, thylakoids and plastoglobules ...

Proteomic Analysis of Chloroplast-to-Chromoplast Transition in Tomato Reveals Metabolic Shifts Coupled with Disrupted Thylakoid Biogenesis Machinery and Elevated Energy-Production Components [PDF]
, 2012 A comparative proteomic approach was performed to identify differentially expressed proteins in plastids at three stages of tomato(Solanum lycopersicum) fruit ripening (mature-green, breaker, red). Stringent curation and processing of the data from three
