SummaryPlastids (chloroplasts) harbor a small gene‐dense genome that is amenable to genetic manipulation by transformation. During 1 billion years of evolution from the cyanobacterial endosymbiont to present‐day chloroplasts, the plastid genome has undergone a dramatic size reduction, mainly as a result of gene losses and the large‐scale transfer of ...

Plastid Transformation in Soybean
2014The biotechnological potential of plastid genetic engineering has been illustrated in a limited number of higher plant species. We have developed a reproducible method to generate plastid transformants in soybean (Glycine max), a crop of major agronomic importance.

Evolutionary History of Plastids
The Biological Bulletin, 1999A major biological event contributing to the biodiversity of present-day organisms was the enslavement of a photosynthetic eubacterium by a primitive eukaryote and its entrapment as an integral part of the cell: the plastid. Since the first acquisition by eukaryotes of photosynthetic capability by primary endosymbiosis, two major lineages (red and ...

PHOSPHATE TRANSLOCATORS IN PLASTIDS
Annual Review of Plant Physiology and Plant Molecular Biology, 1999▪ Abstract During photosynthesis, energy from solar radiation is used to convert atmospheric carbon dioxide into intermediates that are used within and outside the chloroplast for a multitude of metabolic pathways. The daily fixed carbon is exported from the chloroplasts as triose phosphates and 3-phosphoglycerate. In contrast, nongreen plastids rely

Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2004
The function of the eukaryotic cell depends on the reciprocal interaction between its different compartments. Plastids emit signals that regulate nuclear gene expression to ensure the stoichiometric assembly of plastid protein complexes and to initiate macromolecular reorganisation in response to environmental cues.

The Main Functions of Plastids
2018Plastids are semi-autonomous organelles like mitochondria and derive from a cyanobacterial ancestor that was engulfed by a host cell. During evolution, they have recruited proteins originating from the nuclear genome, and only parts of their ancestral metabolic properties were conserved and optimized to limit functional redundancy with other cell ...

Progress with Parasite Plastids
Journal of Molecular Biology, 2002This review offers a snapshot of our current understanding of the origin, biology, and metabolic significance of the non-photosynthetic plastid organelle found in apicomplexan parasites. These protists are of considerable medical and veterinary importance world-wide, Plasmodium spp., the causative agent of malaria being foremost in terms of human ...
