Turnover-synthesis of chloroplast DNA in developing chloroplasts [PDF]
The mechanism for the turnover-synthesis of chloroplast DNA in the absence of net synthesis during the chloroplast maturation in Euglena gracilis was determined. DNA synthesis was measured by incorporation of32Pi into chloroplast DNA. The density label, 15N, was incorporated to examine the mechanism of turnover-synthesis. The newly synthesized segments

A Plastid RNA Polymerase-Associated Protein Is Involved in Early Chloroplast Development in Rice
Plastid-encoded RNA polymerase (PEP) regulates the expression of chloroplast genes involved in photosynthesis and chloroplast development in rice. The PEP-associated protein (PAP) PAP7/pTAC14 is essential for the formation of the PEP complex.

Disruption of a Rice Chloroplast-Targeted Gene OsHMBPP Causes a Seedling-Lethal Albino Phenotype
Background Chloroplast development is coordinately regulated by plastid- and nuclear-encoding genes. Although many regulators have been reported to be involved in chloroplast development, new factors remain to be identified, given the complexity of this ...

Proteomic Responses of Dark-Adapted Euglena gracilis and Bleached Mutant Against Light Stimuli
Euglena gracilis (E. gracilis) has secondary endosymbiotic chloroplasts derived from ancient green algae. Its chloroplasts are easily lost under numerous conditions to become permanently bleached mutants.

Iron Nutrition-Mediated Chloroplast Development [PDF]
Membrane development in chloroplasts was explored by resupplying iron to iron-deficient sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L. cv F58-554H1) and monitoring changes in lamellar components during regreening. The synthesis of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, and Q, the first stable electron acceptor of photosystem II, exhibited a lag phase during the first 24 to 48 ...

Small RNA Profile in Moso Bamboo Root and Leaf Obtained by High Definition Adapters [PDF]
Moso bamboo (Phyllostachy heterocycla cv. pubescens L.) is an economically important fast-growing tree. In order to gain better understanding of gene expression regulation in this important species we used next generation sequencing to profile small RNAs

A Sec14 domain protein is required for photoautotrophic growth and chloroplast vesicle formation in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]
In eukaryotic photosynthetic organisms, the conversion of solar into chemical energy occurs in thylakoid membranes in the chloroplast. How thylakoid membranes are formed and maintained is poorly understood.

Proteomic Analysis of Chloroplast-to-Chromoplast Transition in Tomato Reveals Metabolic Shifts Coupled with Disrupted Thylakoid Biogenesis Machinery and Elevated Energy-Production Components [PDF]
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
