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.

Visualizing the Integrity of Chloroplast Envelope by Rhodamine and Nile Red Staining

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Chloroplasts are essential organelles in plant cells with many important functions. Chloroplasts isolated by Percoll density gradient centrifugation are widely used in the study of chloroplasts.

A proteomic analysis shows the stimulation of light reactions and inhibition of the Calvin cycle in the skin chloroplasts of ripe red grape berries

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
The role of photosynthesis in fruits still challenges scientists. This is especially true in the case of mature grape berries of red varieties lined by an anthocyanin-enriched exocarp (skin) almost impermeable to gases.

ROS production and signalling in chloroplasts: cornerstones and evolving concepts

open access: yesThe Plant 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 ...

Chloroplast‐inspired Scaffold for Infected Bone Defect Therapy: Towards Stable Photothermal Properties and Self‐Defensive Functionality

open access: yesAdvanced Science, 2022
Bone implant‐associated infections induced by bacteria frequently result in repair failure and threaten the health of patients. Although black phosphorus (BP) material with superior photothermal conversion ability is booming in the treatment of bone ...

Functional Relationship of Arabidopsis AOXs and PTOX Revealed via Transgenic Analysis

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Alternative oxidase (AOX) and plastid terminal oxidase (PTOX) are terminal oxidases of electron transfer in mitochondria and chloroplasts, respectively. Here, taking advantage of the variegation phenotype of the Arabidopsis PTOX deficient mutant (im), we

Function of Chloroplasts in Plant Stress Responses

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021
The chloroplast has a central position in oxygenic photosynthesis and primary metabolism. In addition to these functions, the chloroplast has recently emerged as a pivotal regulator of plant responses to abiotic and biotic stress conditions. Chloroplasts

Recent Advances in Understanding the Structural and Functional Evolution of FtsH Proteases

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
The FtsH family of proteases are membrane-anchored, ATP-dependent, zinc metalloproteases. They are universally present in prokaryotes and the mitochondria and chloroplasts of eukaryotic cells. Most bacteria bear a single ftsH gene that produces hexameric

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.

Phototropin 1 and 2 Influence Photosynthesis, UV-C Induced Photooxidative Stress Responses, and Cell Death

open access: yesCells, 2021
Phototropins are plasma membrane-associated photoreceptors of blue light and UV-A/B radiation. The Arabidopsis thaliana genome encodes two phototropins, PHOT1 and PHOT2, that mediate phototropism, chloroplast positioning, and stomatal opening.
