The unicellular alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a classical reference organism for
studying photosynthesis, chloroplast biology, cell cycle control, and cilia structure and …

Plastid genes are transcribed by two types of RNA polymerase in angiosperms: the bacterial
type plastid-encoded RNA polymerase (PEP) and one (RPOTp in monocots) or two (RPOTp …

The mitochondrion stands at the center of cell energy metabolism. It contains its own
genome, the mtDNA, that is a relic of its prokaryotic symbiotic ancestor. In plants, the …

The impacts of wavelengths in 500–600 nm on plant response and their underlying
mechanisms remain elusive and required further investigation. Here, we investigated the …

The DNA molecules in plastids and mitochondria of plants have been studied for over 40
years. Here, we review the data on the circular or linear form, replication, repair, and …

In this review, we consider a selection of recent advances in chloroplast biology. These
include new findings concerning chloroplast evolution, such as the identification of …

WHIRLIES are plant-specific proteins binding to DNA in plastids, mitochondria, and nucleus.
They have been identified as significant components of nucleoids in the organelles where …

Chloroplasts/plastids are unique organelles found in plant cells and some algae and are
responsible for performing essential functions such as photosynthesis. The plastid genome …

The advent of high-throughput sequencing-based methods for chromatin conformation,
accessibility, and immunoprecipitation assays has been a turning point in 3D genomics …

In this article recent progress on the elucidation of the dynamic composition and structure of
plastid nucleoids is reviewed from a structural perspective. Plastid nucleoids are compact …
