Plastids communicate their developmental and physiological status to the nucleus via
retrograde signaling, allowing nuclear gene expression to be adjusted appropriately …

Phytohormones are major signaling components that contribute to nearly all aspects of plant
life. They constitute an interconnected communication network to fine-tune growth and …

Integration of reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated signal transduction pathways via
redox sensors and the thiol-dependent signalling network is of increasing interest in cell …

Fruits result from complex biological processes that begin soon after fertilization. Among
these processes are cell division and expansion, accumulation of secondary metabolites …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent signaling pathways from chloroplasts and
mitochondria merge at the nuclear protein RADICAL-INDUCED CELL DEATH1 (RCD1) …

Communication between cellular compartments is vital for development and environmental
adaptation. Signals emanating from organelles, so-called retrograde signals, coordinate …

Plant seeds do not contain differentiated chloroplasts. Upon germination, the seedlings thus
need to gain photoautotrophy before storage energies are depleted. This requires the …

All land plants (embryophytes) share a common ancestor that likely evolved from a
filamentous freshwater alga. Elucidating the transition from algae to embryophytes–and the …

Acclimation is the capacity to adapt to environmental changes within the lifetime of an
individual. This ability allows plants to cope with the continuous variation in ambient …

Retrograde signalling refers to the regulation of nuclear gene expression in response to
functional changes in organelles. In plants, the two energy-converting organelles …
