Sucrose Metabolism in Plastids [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 2001
Abstract The question whether sucrose (Suc) is present inside plastids has been long debated. Low Suc levels were reported to be present inside isolated chloroplasts, but these were argued to be artifacts of the isolation procedures used.

Complex Plastids and the Evolution of the Marine Phytoplankton [PDF]

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
Photosynthesis allows for the formation of biomass from inorganic carbon and therefore greatly enhances the amount of organic material on planet Earth.

Genome-Wide Analysis of Protein Binding to DNA in Plastids by ptChIP-seq. [PDF]

Curr Protoc
Abstract Plastids contain their own genomes encoding essential components of the photosynthetic apparatus and gene expression machinery. Transcription in plastids is mediated by two RNA polymerases, nuclear‐encoded (NEP) and plastid‐encoded RNA polymerase (PEP).

Global metagenomics reveals plastid diversity and unexplored algal lineages [PDF]

Nature Communications
Photosynthetic organelles in eukaryotes originated through primary endosymbiosis with a cyanobacterium, an event that profoundly shaped the evolutionary landscape of the eukaryotic tree of life.

The origin of plastids [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2008
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.

Plastid division [PDF]

AoB PLANTS, 2010
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.

The Arabidopsis arc5 and arc6 mutations differentially affect plastid morphology in pavement and guard cells in the leaf epidermis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Chloroplasts, or photosynthetic plastids, multiply by binary fission, forming a homogeneous population in plant cells. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the division apparatus (or division ring) of mesophyll chloroplasts includes an inner envelope transmembrane ...

Genetic and Molecular Genetic Basis of Nuclear-Plastid Incompatibilities

Plants, 2019
Genetic analysis of nuclear-cytoplasm incompatibilities is not straightforward and requires an elaborated experimental design. A number of species have been genetically studied, but notable advances in genetic mapping of nuclear loci involved in nuclear ...
