Chloroplasts are essential organelles in the cells of plants and algae. The functions of these
specialized plastids are largely dependent on the~ 3000 proteins residing in the organelle …

The translocons at the outer (TOC) and the inner (TIC) envelope membranes of chloroplasts
mediate the targeting and import of several thousand nucleus-encoded preproteins that are …

The maturation of green fleshy fruit to become colourful and flavoursome is an important
strategy for plant reproduction and dispersal. In tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and many …

Development of chloroplasts and other plastids depends on the import of thousands of
nucleus-encoded proteins from the cytosol. Import is initiated by TOC (translocon at the outer …

INTRODUCTION Chloroplasts are plant organelles responsible for the bulk of terrestrial
photosynthetic primary production. They evolved via endosymbiosis from a cyanobacterial …

Photosynthesis is the energetic basis for most life on Earth, and in plants it operates inside
double membrane–bound organelles called chloroplasts. The photosynthetic apparatus …

Chloroplasts are the organelles responsible for photosynthesis in plants [1, 2]. The
chloroplast proteome comprises∼ 3,000 different proteins, including components of the …

The proper distribution of proteins between the cytosol and various membrane-bound
compartments is crucial for the functionality of eukaryotic cells. This requires the cooperation …

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

Chloroplasts are photosynthetic plant organelles descended from a bacterial ancestor. The
vast majority of chloroplast proteins are synthesized in the cytosol and then imported into the …
