Plastid Transformation in Eggplant
2014Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) is an important vegetable crop of tropical and temperate regions of the world. Here we describe a procedure for eggplant plastid transformation, which involves preparation of explants, biolistic delivery of plastid transformation vector into green stem segments, selection procedure, and identification of the ...

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.

Protein expression in plastids
Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2001The genome of the plastid has generated much interest as a target for plant transformation. The characteristics of plastid transgenes both reflect the prokaryotic origin of plastid organelles and provide a unique set of features that are currently lacking in genes introduced into the plant nucleus. Recent progress has been made in understanding plastid

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 ...

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.

Plastids and gravitropic sensing
Planta, 1997Data and theories about the identity of the mass that acts in gravitropic sensing are reviewed. Gravity sensing may have evolved several times in plants and algae in processes such as gravitropism of organs and tip-growing cells, gravimorphism, gravitaxis, and the regulation of cytoplasmic streaming in internodal cells of Chara.

Plastids and Carotenoid Accumulation
2016Plastids are ubiquitously present in plants and are the organelles for carotenoid biosynthesis and storage. Based on their morphology and function, plastids are classified into various types, i.e. proplastids, etioplasts, chloroplasts, amyloplasts, and chromoplasts. All plastids, except proplastids, can synthesize carotenoids.
