Background: Thylakoids and chloroplasts harbor several vital metabolic processes, but are
most importantly associated with photosynthesis. The undisturbed functioning of this process …

The state of etiolation is generally defined by the presence of non-green plastids (etioplasts)
in plant tissues that would normally contain chloroplasts. In the commonly used dark-grown …

Iron (Fe) is an essential transition metal. Based on its redox-active nature under biological
conditions, various Fe compounds serve as cofactors in redox enzymes. In plants, the …

The isoprenoid family represents one of the most ancient and widespread classes of
structurally and functionally rich biomolecules known to man. Although these natural …

The immutans (im) variegation mutant of Arabidopsis has green and white-sectored leaves
due to the absence of fully functional plastid terminal oxidase (PTOX), a plastoquinol …

Introduction Iron (Fe) is one of themost important cofactors in the photosynthetic apparatus,
and its uptake by chloroplasts has also been associated with the operation of the …

A rapid and accurate diagnosis of nutritional status in field crops is crucial for site-specific
fertilizer management. The micro near-infrared spectrometer (Micro-NIRS) is an extremely …

An intricate network of internal plastid membrane is formed in chloroplasts during plant
ontogenesis. The network develops directly from a simple membrane system in proplastids …

In the course of endosymbiogenesis, the photosynthetic prokaryotes engulfed and retained
by different heterotrophic organisms have partially lost their independence during evolution …
