Chloroplasts are the organelles that define plants, and they are responsible for
photosynthesis as well as numerous other functions. They are the ancestral members of a …

Chloroplasts are the defining plant organelles with responsibility for photosynthesis and
other vital functions. To deliver these functions, they possess a complex proteome …

Crocus sativus stigmas are the source of the saffron spice and accumulate the
apocarotenoids crocetin, crocins, picrocrocin, and safranal, responsible for its color, taste …

Recent advances in the proteomics field have allowed a series of high throughput
experiments to be conducted on chloroplast samples, and the data are available in several …

The unicellular green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a prime model for deciphering

Abstract The 55 Arabidopsis glutathione transferases (GSTs) are, with one microsomal
exception, a monophyletic group of soluble enzymes that can be divided into phi, tau, theta …

Mitochondria and chloroplasts import the vast majority of their proteins across two
membranes, and use translocases of the outer membrane as an entry gate. These …

Iron-superoxide dismutase (FeSOD) and copper/zinc-superoxide dismutase (Cu/ZnSOD)
are evolutionarily conserved proteins in higher plant chloroplasts. These enzymes are …

Stripe rust is a devastating fungal disease of wheat caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp tritici
(Pst). The WHEAT KINASE START1 (WKS1) resistance gene has an unusual combination of …

In most plant cell types, the chloroplast represents the largest sink for iron, which is both
essential for chloroplast metabolism and prone to cause oxidative damage. Here, we show …
