Targeting and Assembly of Components of the TOC Protein Import Complex at the Chloroplast Outer Envelope Membrane

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014
The translocon at the outer envelope membrane of chloroplasts (TOC) initiates the import of thousands of nuclear encoded preproteins required for chloroplast biogenesis and function. The multimeric TOC complex contains two GTP-regulated receptors, Toc34

Indirect Export of Reducing Equivalents From the Chloroplast to Resupply NADP for C3 Photosynthesis—Growing Importance for Stromal NAD(H)?

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Plant productivity greatly relies on a flawless concerted function of the two photosystems (PS) in the chloroplast thylakoid membrane. While damage to PSII can be rapidly resolved, PSI repair is complex and time-consuming. A major threat to PSI integrity

NCP activates chloroplast transcription by controlling phytochrome-dependent dual nuclear and plastidial switches. [PDF]

, 2019
Phytochromes initiate chloroplast biogenesis by activating genes encoding the photosynthetic apparatus, including photosynthesis-associated plastid-encoded genes (PhAPGs).

The Arabidopsis minE mutation causes new plastid and FtsZ1 localization phenotypes in the leaf epidermis

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Plastids in the leaf epidermal cells of plants are regarded as immature chloroplasts that, like mesophyll chloroplasts, undergo binary fission. While mesophyll chloroplasts have generally been used to study plastid division, recent studies have suggested

Insights into Alternanthera mosaic virus TGB3 functions: interactions with Nicotiana benthamiana PsbO correlate with chloroplast vesiculation and veinal necrosis caused by TGB3 overexpression

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2013
Alternanthera mosaic virus (AltMV) triple gene block 3 (TGB3) protein is involved in viral movement. AltMV TGB3 subcellular localization was previously shown to be distinct from that of Potato virus X (PVX) TGB3, and a chloroplast binding domain ...

Characteristics of the tomato chromoplast revealed by proteomic analysis [PDF]

, 2010
Chromoplasts are non-photosynthetic specialized plastids that are important in ripening tomato fruit (Solanum lycopersicum) since, among other functions, they are the site of accumulation of coloured compounds.

PHR‐Mediated Pi Starvation Response Mobile Messenger RNAs Represent Noncoding Transcripts in Recipient Tissues

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mobile messenger RNAs (mRNAs) can travel long distances, serving as systemic signals that participate in plant growth and stress acclimation. This work determines that PHR proteins mediate the Pi starvation response (PSR)‐specific long‐distance transport of mRNAs and that these PSR‐specific mobile mRNAs represent noncoding transcripts in recipient ...
