Plastid-nucleus communication involves calcium-modulated MAPK signalling

Nature Communications, 2016
Retrograde signalling co-ordinates nuclear gene expression in response to stress perceived in the chloroplast. Here Guo et al. show that a MAPK cascade acting downstream of a plastid derived Ca2+signal contributes to the regulation of nuclear gene ...
