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,

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 ...

Plant environmental sensing relies on specialized plastids. [PDF]
, 2022 In plants, plastids are thought to interconvert to various forms that are specialized for photosynthesis, starch and oil storage, and diverse pigment accumulation.

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

Tissue-specific isolation of tagged Arabidopsis plastids
, 2023 Plastids are found in all plant cell types. However, most extraction methods to study these organelles are performed at the organ level (e.g., leaf, root, fruit) and do not allow for tissue-specific resolution, which hinders our understanding of their ...

Functions of tocopherols in the cells of plants and other photosynthetic organisms [PDF]
The Ukrainian Biochemical Journal, 2014 Tocopherol synthesis has only been observed in photosynthetic organisms (plants, algae and some cyanobacteria). Tocopherol is synthesized in the inner membrane of chloroplasts and distributed between chloroplast membranes, thylakoids and plastoglobules ...

Biotechnological approaches to develop nitrogen-fixing cereals: A review
Spanish Journal of Agricultural Research, 2021 Agricultural yields are often limited by nitrogen (N) availability, especially in countries of the developing world, whereas in industrialized nations the application of chemical N fertilizers has reached unsustainable levels that have resulted in ...
