Climate change and global warming have increased the frequency of extreme heat stress
events that severely affect plant production. Photosynthesis is an intricate heat-sensitive …

Plants require solar energy to grow through oxygenic photosynthesis; however, when light
intensity exceeds the optimal range for photosynthesis, it causes abiotic stress and …

How the plasma membrane senses external heat-stress signals to communicate with
chloroplasts to orchestrate thermotolerance remains elusive. We identified a quantitative trait …

Chlorophylls and carotenoids are essential photosynthetic pigments. Plants
spatiotemporally coordinate the needs of chlorophylls and carotenoids for optimal …

Chloroplasts are the defining plant organelles with responsibility for photosynthesis and
other vital functions. To deliver these functions, they possess a complex proteome …

Protein translocases, such as the bacterial SecY complex, the Sec61 complex of the
endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the mitochondrial translocases, facilitate the transport of …

Global warming is an environmental problem that cannot be ignored. High temperatures
seriously affect the normal growth and development of plants, and threaten the development …

Tetrapyrrole biosynthesis produces metabolites that are essential for critical reactions in
photosynthetic organisms, including chlorophylls, heme, siroheme, phytochromobilins, and …

Heat stress has a deleterious effect on male fertility in rice (Oryza sativa), but mechanisms to
protect against heat stress in rice male gametophytes are poorly understood. Here, we have …

In higher plants, chloroplasts are essential semi-autonomous organelles with complex
compartments. As part of these sub-organellar compartments, the sheet-like thylakoid …
