Abscisic acid (ABA) represses the transcriptional activity of chloroplast genes (determined
by run‐on assays), with the exception of psbD and a few other genes in wild‐type …

It is evident that light plays the predominant role in differentiation of the chloroplasts. The
development of chloroplast structure is, however, greatly affected by additonal factors …

Numerous studies have shown effects of abscisic acid (ABA) on nuclear genes encoding
chloroplast-localized proteins. ABA effects on the transcription of chloroplast genes …

Plant growth regulators (PGRs) are chemicals used on a wide range of horticultural crops.
These exogenous chemicals, similar to endogenous plant hormones, regulate plant …

The biosynthesis of chlorophyll, its accumulation and maintenance once formed, and the
structural development of the chloroplast are complex processes subject to inhibition by a …

Benzo-and naphthoquinone derivatives with a lipophilic isoprenoid side chain
(prenylquinones) are ubiquitous in nature [28, 49, 51, 52, 66]. All living organisms contain at …

Chloroplast development is usually considered to proceed from proplastids to chloroplasts.
Different, either direct or indirect conversion pathways have been described in the literature …

To study the formation of the photosynthetic apparatus in nature, the carotenoid and
chlorophyllous pigment compositions of differently developed leaf primordia in closed and …

The current investigation analyzes metabolites of Acetobacter aceti to explore chemical
compounds responsible for the induction of vitamins in barley seeds. A bioactivity guided …

The term plastid (-plast) is used in the biological literature to define different kinds of
organelles present in plant cells. Naming of the organelles has mainly been based on …
