Plastids are unique organelles that can alter their structure and function in response to
environmental and developmental stimuli. Chloroplasts are one type of plastid and are the …

Plastids are semiautonomous plant organelles exhibiting their own transcription–translation
systems that originated from a cyanobacteria‐related endosymbiotic prokaryote. As a …

Nutrient recycling and mobilization from organ to organ all along the plant lifespan is
essential for plant survival under changing environments. Nutrient remobilization to the …

Chloroplast degradation during natural or stress-induced senescence requires the
participation of both plastidic and extraplastidic degradative pathways. As part of the …

The main physiological roles of phloem and xylem in higher plants involve the transport of
water, nutrients and metabolites. They are also involved, however, in whole plant events …

Strigolactones (SL) fulfil important roles in plant development and stress tolerance. Here, we
characterized the role of SL in the dark chilling tolerance of pea and Arabidopsis by analysis …

SAG12 is the most widely used senescence-associated reference gene for characterizing
leaf senescence, and the increase in SAG12 protein during leaf senescence is remarkable …

Intra-plastid proteases play crucial and diverse roles in the development and maintenance
of non-photosynthetic plastids and chloroplasts. Formation and maintenance of a functional …

Senescence-associated proteolysis in plants is a crucial process to relocalize nutrients from
leaves to growing or storage tissues. The massive net degradation of proteins involves …

Functional stay‐green is a valuable trait that extends the photosynthetic period, increases
source capacity and biomass and ultimately translates to higher grain yield. Selection for …
