A Sec14 domain protein is required for photoautotrophic growth and chloroplast vesicle formation in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]
, 2020 In eukaryotic photosynthetic organisms, the conversion of solar into chemical energy occurs in thylakoid membranes in the chloroplast. How thylakoid membranes are formed and maintained is poorly understood.

Plastids, starch and chlorophyll in Vitis vinifera L. berry during its ontogenesis
OENO One, 1995 Structural and ultrastructural investigations on plastidial ontogenesis in the tissues of Vitis vinifera berry arc realised in narrow association with starch and chlorophyll dosages from the stage of fruit setting till berry ripeness. During the whole of

Solute channels of the outer membrane: from bacteria to chloroplasts [PDF]
, 2007 Chloroplasts, unique organelles of plants, originated from endosymbiosis of an ancestor of today's cyanobacteria with a mitochondria-containing host cell. It is assumed that the outer envelope membrane, which delimits the chloroplast from the surrounding

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 ...

Protein import into the endosymbiotic organelles of apicomplexan parasites [PDF]
, 2018 The organelles of endosymbiotic origin, plastids, and mitochondria, evolved through the serial acquisition of endosymbionts by a host cell. These events were accompanied by gene transfer from the symbionts to the host, resulting in most of the organellar

The chloroplast min system functions differentially in two specific nongreen plastids in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The nongreen plastids, such as etioplasts, chromoplasts, etc., as well as chloroplasts, are all derived from proplastids in the meristem. To date, the Min system members in plants have been identified as regulators of FtsZ-ring placement, which are ...

Metabolic and molecular events occurring during chromoplast biogenesis [PDF]
, 2011 Chromoplasts are nonphotosynthetic plastids that accumulate carotenoids. They derive from other plastid forms, mostly chloroplasts. The biochemical events responsible for the interconversion of one plastid form into another are poorly documented. However,

Whole genome population structure of North Atlantic kelp confirms high‐latitude glacial refugia
Molecular Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 24, Page 6473-6488, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Coastal refugia during the Last Glacial Maximum (~21,000 years ago) have been hypothesized at high latitudes in the North Atlantic, suggesting marine populations persisted through cycles of glaciation and are potentially adapted to local environments.

Mutant-based model of two independent pathways for carotenoid-mediated chloroplast biogenesis in Arabidopsis embryos [PDF]
, 2019 Chloroplasts are essential for autonomous plant growth, and their biogenesis is a complex process requiring both plastid and nuclear genome. One of the essential factors required for chloroplast biogenesis are carotenoids.
