Plant cells store genetic information in the genomes of three organelles: the nucleus, plastid,
and mitochondrion. The nucleus controls most aspects of organelle gene expression …

Intracellular signaling from plastids to the nucleus, called retrograde signaling, coordinates
the expression of nuclear and plastid genes and is essential for plastid biogenesis and for …

The blt4 barley gene family encodes non-specific lipid transfer proteins and has been
shown, by in situ localisation, to be expressed in the epidermal cells of leaves. The …

Chloroplasts are essential for the unique photoautotrophic and sessile existence of higher
plants. Chloroplasts account for 50% of the total soluble protein in leaves, and these …

▪ Abstract In this review, we address the phylogenetic and structural relationships between
light-responsive promoter regions from a range of plant genes, that could explain both their …

Genetic and physiological studies have to-date revealed evidence for five signaling
pathways by which the chloroplast exerts retrograde control over nuclear genes. One of …

Plastid proteins are encoded in two genomes, one in the nucleus and the other in the
organelle. The expression of genes in these two compartments is coordinated during …

A functionally important region in the promoter of the spinach photosynthesis gene AtpC,
which encodes the subunit γ of the chloroplast ATP synthase, is located immediately …

Light provides energy for photosynthesis and also acts as an important environmental
signal. During their evolution, plants acquired sophisticated sensory systems for light …

We searched for new components that are involved in the positive regulation of nuclear
gene expression by light by extending a screen for Arabidopsis cue (c hlorophyll a/b-binding …
