Plastid phylogenomics with broad taxon sampling further elucidates the distinct evolutionary origins and timing of secondary green plastids

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
Secondary plastids derived from green algae occur in chlorarachniophytes, photosynthetic euglenophytes, and the dinoflagellate genus Lepidodinium. Recent advances in understanding the origin of these plastids have been made, but analyses suffer from ...

Functions of tocopherols in the cells of plants and other photosynthetic organisms [PDF]

open access: yesThe 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 ...

Specialized Plastids Trigger Tissue-Specific Signaling for Systemic Stress Response in Plants1[OPEN]

open access: yesPlant Physiology, 2018
Small plastids within the epidermis and vascular tissues modulate tissue-specific redox, chromatin and stress-responsive pathways. Plastids comprise a complex set of organelles in plants that can undergo distinctive patterns of differentiation and ...

Presequence translocase-associated motor subunits of the mitochondrial protein import apparatus are dual-targeted to mitochondria and plastids

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
The import and assembly of most of the mitochondrial proteome is regulated by protein translocases located within the mitochondrial membranes. The Presequence Translocase-Associated Motor (PAM) complex powers the translocation of proteins across the ...

Mutant-based model of two independent pathways for carotenoid-mediated chloroplast biogenesis in Arabidopsis embryos [PDF]

open access: yes, 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.

Plastids of Marine Phytoplankton Produce Bioactive Pigments and Lipids

open access: yesMarine Drugs, 2013
Phytoplankton is acknowledged to be a very diverse source of bioactive molecules. These compounds play physiological roles that allow cells to deal with changes of the environmental constrains.

Biotechnological approaches to develop nitrogen-fixing cereals: A review

open access: yesSpanish 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 ...

Characteristics of the tomato chromoplast revealed by proteomic analysis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Chromoplasts are non-photosynthetic specialized plastids that are important in ripening tomato fruit (Solanum lycopersicum) since, among other functions, they are the site of accumulation of coloured compounds.

Reactive Oxygen Species, Antioxidant Agents, and DNA Damage in Developing Maize Mitochondria and Plastids

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Maize shoot development progresses from non-pigmented meristematic cells at the base of the leaf to expanded and non-dividing green cells of the leaf blade.

Organellar carbon metabolism is co-ordinated with distinct developmental phases of secondary xylem [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Subcellular compartmentation of plant biosynthetic pathways in the mitochondria and plastids requires coordinated regulation of nuclear encoded genes, and the role of these genes has been largely ignored by wood researchers. In this study, we constructed
