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 ...

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

Aggregations of organelles in meiotic cells of higher plants
Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014 During early prophase I in microsporocytes and sporocytes of various plants all mitochondria and plastids aggregate in a group, where some plastids seem to undergo division. This group desintegrates by middle prophase I.

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

Searching for α−solenoid proteins involved in organellar gene expression
BMC GenomicsBackground In photosynthetic eukaryotes of the green lineage, the expression of the chloroplast genome is mainly regulated post-transcriptionally, by RNA-binding proteins encoded in the nuclear genome termed organelle trans-acting factors.

An Expanded Ribosomal Phylogeny of Cyanobacteria Supports a Deep Placement of Plastids
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019 The phylum Cyanobacteria includes free-living bacteria and plastids, the descendants of cyanobacteria that were engulfed by the ancestral lineage of the major photosynthetic eukaryotic group Archaeplastida. Endosymbiotic events that followed this primary
