Chloroplast translation is essential for cellular viability and plant development. Its positioning
at the intersection of organellar RNA and protein metabolism makes it a unique point for the …

Chloroplasts and mitochondria are subcellular bioenergetic organelles with their own
genomes and genetic systems. DNA replication and transmission to daughter organelles …

Mitochondria and plastids (chloroplasts) are cell organelles of endosymbiotic origin that
possess their own genetic information. Most organellar DNAs map as circular double …

Evolutionary novelties have been important in the history of life, but their origins are usually
difficult to examine in detail. We previously described the evolution of a novel trait, aerobic …

The small bacterial-type genome of the plastid (chloroplast) can be engineered by genetic
transformation, generating cells and plants with transgenic plastid genomes, also referred to …

Why the DNA‐containing organelles, chloroplasts, and mitochondria, are inherited
maternally is a long standing and unsolved question. However, recent years have seen a …

Chloroplasts are cytoplasmic organelles and the sites of photosynthesis in eukaryotic cells.
Advances in structural biology and comparative genomics allow us to identify individual …

The plant genome is organized into chromosomes that provide the structure for the genetic
linkage groups and allow faithful replication, transcription and transmission of the hereditary …

In legume nodules, symbiosomes containing endosymbiotic rhizobial bacteria act as
temporary plant organelles that are responsible for nitrogen fixation, these bacteria develop …

In eukaryotes, DNA is exchanged between endosymbiosis-derived compartments
(mitochondria and chloroplasts) and the nucleus. Organelle-to-nucleus DNA transfer …
