Chloroplast translation is essential for cellular viability and plant development. Its positioning
at the intersection of organellar RNA and protein metabolism makes it a unique point for the …

Chloroplasts (plastids) possess a genome and their own machinery to express it. Translation
in plastids occurs on bacterial-type 70S ribosomes utilizing a set of tRNAs that is entirely …

Chloroplast gene expression is primarily controlled during the translation of plastid mRNAs.
Translation is regulated in response to a variety of biotic and abiotic factors, and requires a …

Gene expression in chloroplasts is controlled primarily through the regulation of translation.
This regulation allows coordinate expression between the plastid and nuclear genomes …

Chloroplast gene expression is a fascinating and highly regulated process, which was
mainly studied on specific genes in a few model organisms including the unicellular green …

The discovery that chloroplasts have semi-autonomous genetic systems has led to many
insights into the biogenesis of these organelles and their evolution from free-living …

The objective of this study was to determine if mRNA sequences downstream of the
translation initiation codon are important for translation of plastid mRNAs. We have …

Chloroplast gene expression is primarily regulated at the post-transcriptional level, where a
variety of complex mechanism have evolved to govern the interaction between the …

The chloroplast genome encodes proteins required for photosynthesis, gene expression,
and other essential organellar functions. Derived from a cyanobacterial ancestor, the …

Chloroplasts are semiautonomous organelles which possess their own genome and gene
expression system. However, extant chloroplasts contain only limited coding information …
