The Role of Tetrapyrrole- and GUN1-Dependent Signaling on Chloroplast Biogenesis
Plants, 2021 Chloroplast biogenesis requires the coordinated expression of the chloroplast and nuclear genomes, which is achieved by communication between the developing chloroplasts and the nucleus.

Plastid 16S rRNA gene diversity among eukaryotic picophytoplankton sorted by flow cytometry from the South Pacific Ocean [PDF]
, 2011 The genetic diversity of photosynthetic picoeukaryotes was investigated in the South East Pacific Ocean. Genetic libraries of the plastid 16S rRNA gene were constructed on picoeukaryote populations sorted by flow cytometry, using two different primer ...

Regeneration and plastid transformation approaches in Arabidopsis thaliana and Rapid-Cycling Brassica rapa [PDF]
, 2011 Plastid transformation is a well-established tool for biotechnology as it allows highexpression levels of proteins and as it provides biological transgene containment because of maternal inheritance of cytoplasmic genes in most crops.

Proteomic Analysis of Chloroplast-to-Chromoplast Transition in Tomato Reveals Metabolic Shifts Coupled with Disrupted Thylakoid Biogenesis Machinery and Elevated Energy-Production Components [PDF]
, 2012 A comparative proteomic approach was performed to identify differentially expressed proteins in plastids at three stages of tomato(Solanum lycopersicum) fruit ripening (mature-green, breaker, red). Stringent curation and processing of the data from three

The plastid outer envelope – a highly dynamic interface between plastid and cytoplasm
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2011 Plastids are the defining organelles of all photosynthetic eukaryotes. They are the site of photosynthesis and of a large number of other essential metabolic pathways, such as fatty acid and amino acid biosyntheses, sulfur and nitrogen assimilation, and ...
