The large mitochondrial genomes of angiosperms are unusually dynamic because of
recombination activities involving repeated sequences. These activities generate …

Plant mitochondria have a complex and peculiar genetic system. They have the largest
genomes, as compared to organelles from other eukaryotic organisms. These can expand …

Compartmentation of the eukaryotic cell requires a complex set of subcellular messages,
including multiple retrograde signals from the chloroplast and mitochondria to the nucleus …

Upon disturbance of their function by stress, mitochondria can signal to the nucleus to steer
the expression of responsive genes. This mitochondria-to-nucleus communication is often …

Plants require daily coordinated regulation of energy metabolism for optimal growth and
survival and therefore need to integrate cellular responses with both mitochondrial and …

Strigolactones (SLs) are carotenoid-derived plant hormones that regulate shoot branching,
secondary growth, root development, and responses to soil phosphate. In Arabidopsis …

Germination represents a rapid transition from dormancy to a high level of metabolic activity.
In-depth transcriptomic profiling at 10 time points in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) …

Abstract Transcription-replication conflicts (TRCs), especially Head-On TRCs (HO-TRCs)
can introduce R-loops and DNA damage, however, the underlying mechanisms are still …

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 …

RNA editing in higher plant organelles results in the conversion of specific cytidine residues
to uridine residues in RNA. The recognition of a specific target C site by the editing …
