Rapidly communicating the perception of an abiotic stress event, wounding or pathogen
infection, from its initial site of occurrence to the entire plant, ie rapid systemic signaling, is …

Plastids are a group of essential, heterogenous semi-autonomous organelles characteristic
of plants that perform photosynthesis and a diversity of metabolic pathways that impact …

Mitochondrial and plastid genomes in land plants exhibit some of the slowest rates of
sequence evolution observed in any eukaryotic genome, suggesting an exceptional ability …

Increased exposure to environmental stresses due to climate change have adversely
affected plant growth and productivity. Upon stress, plants activate a signaling cascade …

Plant seeds do not contain differentiated chloroplasts. Upon germination, the seedlings thus
need to gain photoautotrophy before storage energies are depleted. This requires the …

Retrograde signalling refers to the regulation of nuclear gene expression in response to
functional changes in organelles. In plants, the two energy-converting organelles …

The metabolic interdependence, interactions, and coordination of functions between
chloroplasts and mitochondria are established and intensively studied. However, less is …

MSH1 is a plant-specific protein. RNAi suppression of MSH1 results in phenotype variability
for developmental and stress response pathways. Segregation of the RNAi transgene …

Carotenoids are a large class of isoprenoid compounds which are biosynthesized by plants,
algae, along with certain fungi, bacteria and insects. In plants, carotenoids provide crucial …

Acclimation of plants to adverse conditions requires the coordination of gene expression
and signalling pathways between tissues and cell types. As the energy and carbon …
