Shopping for plastids [PDF]

open access: possibleTrends in Plant Science, 2007
Recent suggestions that endosymbionts in a diatom and an amoeba represent independent origins of plastids from those in plants and algae raise again the question of how many times plastids have evolved. In this Opinion article, we review the evidence for a single origin or multiple origins of primary plastids.

On the origin of plastids

Origins of Life, 1975
The buoyant density in CsCl of ribosomes from chloroplasts of the green alga Chlorella pyrenoidosa and two species of higher plants, Pisum sativum and Chenopodium album, has been studied. From the relative protein content it was calculated that 70S ribosomes from chloroplasts are much smaller than 80S cytoplasmic ribosomes (3.0-3.1 X 10(6) and 4.0 X 10(

Plastids with or without galactoglycerolipids

Trends in Plant Science, 2014
In structural, functional, and evolutionary terms, galactoglycerolipids are signature lipids of chloroplasts. Their presence in nongreen plastids has been demonstrated in angiosperms and diatoms. Thus, galactoglycerolipids are considered as a landmark of green and nongreen plastids, deriving from either a primary or secondary endosymbiosis.

Plastid Transcriptomics: An Important Tool For Plastid Functional Genomics

Protein & Peptide Letters, 2021
Plastids in higher plants carry out specialized roles such as photosynthesis, nitrogen assimilation, biosynthesis of amino acids, fatty acids, isoprenoids, and various metabolites. Plastids arise from undifferentiated precursors known as proplastids, which are found in the root and shoot meristems. They are highly dynamic as they change their number,

Plastid peptidoglycan

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects, 2010
It is now widely accepted that an endosymbiotic cyanobacterium evolved into the plastid of the primary photosynthetic eukaryotes: glaucocystophytes, red algae, and green plants. It has been thought that during the evolution of plants, the peptidoglycan wall (or murein) was lost from the endosymbiont immediately after the branching off of the ...

The Main Functions of Plastids

2018
Plastids 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 ...

Plastid Evolution

Annual Review of Plant Biology, 2008
The ancestors of modern cyanobacteria invented O2-generating photosynthesis some 3.6 billion years ago. The conversion of water and CO2 into energy-rich sugars and O2 slowly transformed the planet, eventually creating the biosphere as we know it today.
