It is generally accepted that plastids first arose by acquisition of photosynthetic prokaryotic endosymbionts by non-photosynthetic eukaryotic hosts. It is also accepted that photosynthetic eukaryotes were acquired on several occasions as endosymbionts by non-photosynthetic eukaryote hosts to form secondary plastids.

Exploring the Link between Photosystem II Assembly and Translation of the Chloroplast psbA mRNA
Photosystem II (PSII) in chloroplasts and cyanobacteria contains approximately fifteen core proteins, which organize numerous pigments and prosthetic groups that mediate the light-driven water-splitting activity that drives oxygenic photosynthesis.

Retrograde and anterograde signaling in the crosstalk between chloroplast and nucleus
The chloroplast is a complex cellular organelle that not only performs photosynthesis but also synthesizes amino acids, lipids, and phytohormones. Nuclear and chloroplast genetic activity are closely coordinated through signaling chains from the nucleus ...

The complete plastid genome of Lilium regale E.H.Wilson
Lilium regale E.H.Wilson is a native lily species in western Sichuan of China and an important resource for lily breeding. In this study, the plastid genome of L. regale was assembled de novo using the next-generation sequencing data.

Plastids undergo a process of binary fission in order to replicate. Plastid replication is required at two distinct stages of plant growth: during cell division to ensure correct plastid segregation, and during cell expansion and development to generate large populations of functional plastids, as in leaf mesophyll cells.

Respiratory processes in non-photosynthetic plastids
Chlororespiration is a respiratory process located in chloroplast thylakoids which consists in an electron transport chain from NAD(P)H to oxygen. This respiratory chain involves the NAD(P)H dehydrogenase complex, the plastoquinone pool and the plastid ...

Spatial chloroplast-to-nucleus signalling involving plastid–nuclear complexes and stromules
Communication between chloroplasts and the nucleus in response to various environmental cues may be mediated by various small molecules. Signalling specificity could be enhanced if the physical contact between these organelles facilitates direct transfer
