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

Chloroplasts are descendants of cyanobacteria and divide by binary fission. Several components of the division apparatus have been identified in the past several years and we are beginning to appreciate the plastid division process at a mechanistic level.

Chloroplast Glutathione Reductase [PDF]
Glutathione reductase (EC 1.6.4.2) activity is present in spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) chloroplasts. The pH dependence and substrate concentration for half-maximal rate are reported and a possible role in chloroplasts is proposed.

SYNTHESIS OF CHLOROPLAST DNA IN ISOLATED CHLOROPLASTS [PDF]
Chloroplasts isolated from Euglena gracilis incorporated both tritiated thymidine 5'-triphosphate and tritiated deoxyadenosine 5'-triphosphate into an acid-stable fraction. The incorporation was dependent on the presence of all four deoxynucleoside triphosphates and was sensitive to treatment with deoxyribonuclease and actinomycin D.

Physiological and transcriptomic evidence for a close coupling between chloroplast ontogeny and cell cycle progression in the pennate diatom Seminavis robusta [PDF]
Despite the growing interest in diatom genomics, detailed time series of gene expression in relation to key cellular processes are still lacking. Here, we investigated the relationships between the cell cycle and chloroplast development in the pennate ...

The principal function of the chloroplast is to capture solar quanta and to store them in some stable form. We are in the process of trying to construct a totally synthetic system that would simulate some of the reactions of the two photosystems which occur in natural chloroplasts.

Analysis of chlorophyll fluorescence reveals stage specific patterns of chloroplast-containing cells during Arabidopsis embryogenesis [PDF]
http://www.scielo.cl/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0716-97602010000100012&lng=es&nrm=isoThe basic body plan of a plant is established early in embryogenesis when cells differentiate, giving rise to the apical and basal regions of the embryo.

Tocopherol and plastoquinone synthesis in spinach chloroplasts subfractions [PDF]
Subfractions isolated from intact purified spinach chloroplasts are able to prenylate the aromatic moiety of -tocopherol and plastoquinone-9 precursors. The biosynthesis of -tocopherol and plastoquinone-9 is a compartmentalized process.

Leaf anatomy and C4 photosynthetic enzymes in three reed ecotypes
Differences in leaf interveinal distances, chloroplasts distribution in bundle sheath cells (BSC) and activities of C4 photosynthetic enzymes in the leaves of three ecotypes of Phragmites communis Trinius, namely swamp reed (SR), heavy salt meadow reed ...
