Reactive oxygen species (ROS) and calcium (Ca2+) signalling are interconnected in the
perception and transmission of environmental signals that control plant growth, development …

The most conspicuous function of plastids is the oxygenic photosynthesis of chloroplasts, yet
plastids are super-factories that produce a plethora of compounds that are indispensable for …

Chloroplast development requires coordinate nuclear and chloroplast gene expression. A
putative signal from the chloroplast couples the transcription of certain nuclear genes …

A plastid-derived signal plays an important role in the coordinated expression of both
nuclear-and chloroplast-localized genes that encode photosynthesis-related proteins …

Carotenoids play an important role in many physiological processes in plants and the
phytoene desaturase gene (PDS3) encodes one of the important enzymes in the carotenoid …

Plant cells store genetic information in the genomes of three organelles: the nucleus, plastid,
and mitochondrion. The nucleus controls most aspects of organelle gene expression …

Shortly after the release of singlet oxygen (1O2), drastic changes in nuclear gene
expression occur in the conditional flu mutant of Arabidopsis that reveal a rapid transfer of …

Plant cells coordinately regulate the expression of nuclear and plastid genes that encode
components of the photosynthetic apparatus. Nuclear genes that regulate chloroplast …

Derived by endosymbiosis from ancestral cyanobacteria, chloroplasts integrated seamlessly
into the biology of their host cell. That integration involved a massive transfer of genes to the …

The light-harvesting complexes form the photosynthetic apparatus found in most
photosynthetic organisms including cyanobacteria, red algae, diatoms and dinoflagellates …
