Chloroplasts are the metabolically active, semi-autonomous organelles found in plants,
algae and cyanobacteria. Their main function is to carry out the photosynthesis process …

Plant organellar RNA metabolism is run by a multitude of nucleus-encoded RNA-binding
proteins (RBPs) that control RNA stability, processing, and degradation. In chloroplasts and …

Bacterial cytidine deaminase fused to the DNA binding domains of transcription activator-
like effector nucleases was recently reported to transiently substitute a targeted C to a T in …

Chloroplasts evolved from an ancient cyanobacterial endosymbiont more than 1.5 billion
years ago. During subsequent coevolution with the nuclear genome, the chloroplast …

Chloroplasts are plant organelles that carry out photosynthesis, produce various
metabolites, and sense changes in the external environment. Given their endosymbiotic …

The emergence of drug-resistant pathogens poses a serious critical threat to global public
health and requires immediate action. Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a class of short …

Engineering improved Rubisco for the enhancement of photosynthesis is challenged by the
alternate locations of the chloroplast rbcL gene and nuclear RbcS genes. Here we develop …

Riboregulators such as riboswitches and RNA thermometers provide simple, protein-
independent tools to control gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. In bacteria …

The production of therapeutic and industrial recombinant proteins in plants has advantages
over established bacterial and mammalian systems in terms of cost, scalability, growth …

Plastids are a group of essential, heterogenous semi-autonomous organelles characteristic
of plants that perform photosynthesis and a diversity of metabolic pathways that impact …
