The RNA-binding pentatricopeptide repeat(PPR)family comprises hundreds to thousands of genes in most plants,but only a few dozen in algae,indicating massive gene expansions during land plant evolution.The nature and t...
Recent technical advances in electrophysiological measurements, organelle-targeted fluorescence imaging, and organelle proteomics have pushed the research of ion transport a step forward in the case of the plant bioen...
Recent studies have demonstrated that chloroplasts and mitochondria evoke specific Ca2+ signals in response to biotic and abiotic stresses in a stress-dependent manner. The identification of Ca2+ transporters and Ca...
As a result of the endosymbiotic gene transfer, the majority of proteins of mitochondria and chloroplasts are encoded in the nucleus and synthesized in the cytosol as precursor proteins carrying N-terminal transport s...
Plant organelles arose from two independent endosymbiosis events. Throughout evolutionary history, tight control of chloroplasts and mitochondria has been gained by the nucleus, which regulates most steps of organelle...
