Expression of the chloroplast genome: modern concepts and experimental approaches

Вавиловский журнал генетики и селекции, 2015
A unique feature of plants is the presence of two extranuclear genomes, chloroplasts and mitochondria. The chloroplast genome is relatively small, 100–120 genes, which encode less than 5 % of all proteins required for plastids to function.

The Cryptic Plastid of Euglena longa Defines a New Type of Nonphotosynthetic Plastid Organelle

mSphere, 2020
Most secondary nonphotosynthetic eukaryotes have retained residual plastids whose physiological role is often still unknown. One such example is Euglena longa, a close nonphotosynthetic relative of Euglena gracilis harboring a plastid organelle of ...

The induction of stromule formation by a plant DNA-virus in epidermal leaf tissues suggests a novel intra- and intercellular macromolecular trafficking route

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2012
Stromules are dynamic thin protrusions of membrane envelope from plant cell plastids. Despite considerable progress in understanding the importance of certain cytoskeleton elements and motor proteins for stromule maintenance, their function within the ...

A non-photosynthetic green alga illuminates the reductive evolution of plastid electron transport systems

BMC Biology, 2020
Background Plastid electron transport systems are essential not only for photosynthesis but also for dissipating excess reducing power and sinking excess electrons generated by various redox reactions.

The physical and functional borders of transit peptide-like sequences in secondary endosymbionts

BMC Plant Biology, 2010
Background Plastids rely on protein supply by their host cells. In plastids surrounded by two membranes (primary plastids) targeting of these proteins is facilitated by an N-terminal targeting signal, the transit peptide.

The localization of nitrite reductase, glutamate synthase and malate metabolism enzymes in Pisum arvense L. roots

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014
Centrifugation of a homogenate made from Pisum arvense L. roots in a sucrose density gradient enabled the separation of the plastid fraction from mitochondria and microsomes.

Genetic and ultrastructural studies on an orange coloured chlorophyll mutant of winter rye (Secale cereale L.)

Acta Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014
The feature of the orange colour of young seedlings, which appeared in inbred generation S2 of a short straw form of winter rye cultivated in Jeleniec is described.

Plastid-Nucleus Distance Alters the Behavior of Stromules

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Plastids send “retrograde” signals to the nucleus to deliver information regarding their physiological status. One open question concerning this signal transfer is how the signal bridges the cytoplasm.
