The chloroplast is a complex cellular organelle that not only performs photosynthesis but
also synthesizes amino acids, lipids, and phytohormones. Nuclear and chloroplast genetic …

Unraveling gene function is pivotal to understanding the signaling cascades that control
plant development and stress responses. As experimental profiling is costly and labor …

The development of a seedling into a photosynthetically active plant is a crucial process.
Despite its importance, we do not fully understand the regulatory mechanisms behind the …

Chloroplast activities influence nuclear gene expression, a phenomenon referred to as
retrograde signaling. Biogenic retrograde signals have been revealed by changes in …

The state of etiolation is generally defined by the presence of non-green plastids (etioplasts)
in plant tissues that would normally contain chloroplasts. In the commonly used dark-grown …

Plant seeds do not contain differentiated chloroplasts. Upon germination, the seedlings thus
need to gain photoautotrophy before storage energies are depleted. This requires the …

Background The developmental gradient in monocot leaves has been exploited to uncover
leaf developmental gene expression programs and chloroplast biogenesis processes …

Light triggers chloroplast differentiation whereby the etioplast transforms into a
photosynthesizing chloroplast and the thylakoid rapidly emerges. However, the sequence of …
