Chloroplast proteins that regulate the biogenesis, performance and acclimation of the
photosynthetic protein complexes are currently under intense research. Dozens, possibly …

Chlorophyll precursors Mg‐protoporphyrin IX and its monomethylester are candidates for
plastid‐derived molecules involved in light signalling from the chloroplast to the nucleus …

Spatial and temporal expression patterns of the sbeII and sbeI genes, encoding starch
branching enzyme II and I, respectively, in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) were studied …

Background Temperature and solar radiation influence Vitis vinifera L. berry ripening. Both
environmental conditions fluctuate cyclically on a daily period basis and the strength of this …

The objective of this study was to evaluate if time of day for harvest and delay before
processing affected the quality of baby spinach. Three times of the day for harvest (8: 30, 13 …

Drought is a major constraint for the production of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.). To
identify molecular responses to water deficit, we performed a differential display RT-PCR …

Many organisms are subjected to a daily cycle of light and darkness, which significantly
influences metabolic and physiological processes. In the present study, Neopyropia …

Expression of six Hsp70s in spinach (Spinacia oleracea cv Longstanding Bloomsdale)
leaves grown under isothermal conditions is regulated by a light/dark (L/D) mechanism …

Synthesis and accumulation of molecular chaperones are universal responses found in all
cellular organisms when exposed to a variety of unfavorable conditions. Heat shock protein …

Chlorarachniophytes and cryptophytes possess complex plastids that were acquired by the
ingestion of a green and red algal endosymbiont, respectively. The plastids are surrounded …
