ROS production and signalling in chloroplasts: cornerstones and evolving concepts

open access: yesPlant Journal, 2022
SUMMARY Reactive oxygen species (ROS) such as singlet oxygen, superoxide (O2 ●−) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) are the markers of living cells. Oxygenic photosynthesis produces ROS in abundance, which act as a readout of a functional electron transport ...

Effects of Chilling on the Structure, Function and Development of Chloroplasts

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Chloroplasts are the organelles that perform energy transformation in plants. The normal physiological functions of chloroplasts are essential for plant growth and development.

Sensitivity and Responses of Chloroplasts to Heat Stress in Plants

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Increased temperatures caused by global warming threaten agricultural production, as warmer conditions can inhibit plant growth and development or even destroy crops in extreme circumstances.

Photosynthesis-dependent H2O2 transfer from chloroplasts to nuclei provides a high-light signalling mechanism

open access: yesNature Communications, 2017
Chloroplasts communicate information by signalling to nuclei during acclimation to fluctuating light. Several potential operating signals originating from chloroplasts have been proposed, but none have been shown to move to nuclei to modulate gene ...

An effector protein of the wheat stripe rust fungus targets chloroplasts and suppresses chloroplast function

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Chloroplasts are important for photosynthesis and for plant immunity against microbial pathogens. Here we identify a haustorium-specific protein (Pst_12806) from the wheat stripe rust fungus, Puccinia striiformis f. sp.

Carboxysome encapsulation of the CO2-fixing enzyme Rubisco in tobacco chloroplasts

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
A long-term strategy to enhance global crop photosynthesis and yield involves the introduction of cyanobacterial CO2-concentrating mechanisms (CCMs) into plant chloroplasts.

Stromule extension along microtubules coordinated with actin-mediated anchoring guides perinuclear chloroplast movement during innate immunity [PDF]

open access: yeseLife, 2018
Dynamic tubular extensions from chloroplasts called stromules have recently been shown to connect with nuclei and function during innate immunity. We demonstrate that stromules extend along microtubules (MTs) and MT organization directly affects stromule

Metabolic Reprogramming in Chloroplasts under Heat Stress in Plants

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2018
Increases in ambient temperatures have been a severe threat to crop production in many countries around the world under climate change. Chloroplasts serve as metabolic centers and play a key role in physiological adaptive processes to heat stress.

Mitochondrial and photosynthetic therapy: A crucial strategy for remodeling cellular metabolic function [PDF]

open access: yesBioengineering & Translational Medicine
Extranuclear organelle transplantation, an emerging field in cell biology and bioengineering, presents innovative therapeutic possibilities by transferring organelles such as mitochondria between cells or across species. In living organisms, mitochondria
