Photosynthesis is a high-rate redox metabolic process that is subjected to rapid changes in
input parameters, particularly light. Rapid transients of photon capture, electron fluxes, and …

As plants are sessile organisms that have to attune their physiology and morphology
continuously to varying environmental challenges in order to survive and reproduce, they …

The chloroplast can act as an environmental sensor, communicating with the cell during
biogenesis and operation to change the expression of thousands of proteins. This process …

Integration of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated signal transduction pathways via
redox sensors and the thiol-dependent signalling network is of increasing interest in cell …

The term retrograde signaling refers to the fact that chloroplasts and mitochondria utilize
specific signaling molecules to convey information on their developmental and physiological …

This review summarizes knowledge of alternative oxidase, a mitochondrial electron
transport chain component that lowers the ATP yield of plant respiration. Analysis of mutant …

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 …

Interorganellar cooperation maintained via exquisitely controlled retrograde-signaling
pathways is an evolutionary necessity for maintenance of cellular homeostasis. This …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent signaling pathways from chloroplasts and
mitochondria merge at the nuclear protein RADICAL-INDUCED CELL DEATH1 (RCD1) …

Plants are sessile photo-autotrophic organisms continuously exposed to a variety of
environmental stresses. Monitoring the sugar level and energy status is essential, since this …
