Upper Rhine Valley: A migration crossroads of middle European oaks [PDF]
The indigenous oak species (Quercus spp.) of the Upper Rhine Valley have migrated to their current distribution range in the area after the transition to the Holocene interglacial. Since post-glacial recolonization, they have been subjected to ecological changes and human impact. By using chloroplast microsatellite markers (cpSSRs), we provide detailed

Electronic Nanomaterials for Plants: A Review on Current Advances and Future Prospects
Global food security faces mounting challenges from climate change and rapid population growth. This review highlights the pivotal role of electronic nanomaterials–including metals, metal oxides, and carbon‐based structures–in enhancing plant photosynthesis, nutrient uptake, and stress resilience. Furthermore, it explores how emerging platforms such as

How a simple chloroplast psbA gene mutation changed world agriculture [PDF]
Atrazine as a weed control tactic profoundly changed world agriculture. Long-term use revealed resistant biotypes, R, with a single base pair mutation of the chloroplast psbA gene. The R phenotype emerged from a sequential cascade of pleiotropic effects from the plastid to the whole plant.

Salinity Response in Chloroplasts: Insights from Gene Characterization
Salinity is a severe abiotic stress limiting agricultural yield and productivity. Plants have evolved various strategies to cope with salt stress. Chloroplasts are important photosynthesis organelles, which are sensitive to salinity.

Ultrastructural Characteristics and Viral Replication Sites in Chloroplasts of Kimchi Cabbage Cells infected with Turnip Yellow Mosaic Virus [PDF]
A significant number of vesicles developed at the inner edge of chloroplasts of kimchi cabbage cells infected with turnip yellow mosaic virus (TYMV). The vesicle found in the chloroplasts are typical ultrastructures resulting from infection of TYMV.

Genome hybridization: A universal way for the origin and diversification of organelles as well as the origin and speciation of eukaryotes [PDF]
The origin of organelles (mitochondrion, chloroplast and nucleus) remains enigmatic. The endosymbiotic hypothesis that chloroplasts, mitochondria and nuclei descend from the endosymbiotic cyanobacterium, bacterium and archaebacterium respectively is dominant yet uncompelling, while our discovery of de novo organelle biogenesis in the cyanobacterium ...

Genome‐wide identification and biological relevance of broccoli aquaporins
Abstract Broccoli (Brassica oleracea var. italica) is an important crop worldwide, and its regular consumption is associated with health benefits due to the presence of various bioactive compounds. An optimal water balance and homeostasis are needed for plant growth; in this sense, aquaporins play a crucial role.
