Although genomes of mitochondria and plastids are very small compared to those of their
bacterial ancestors, the transcription machineries of these organelles are of surprising …

Chloroplasts are semiautonomous organelles which possess their own genome and gene
expression system. However, extant chloroplasts contain only limited coding information …

Transcription in plastids is mediated by a plastid-encoded multimeric (PEP) and a nuclear-
encoded single-subunit RNA polymerase (NEP) and a still unknown number of nuclear …

Compared with small heat shock proteins (sHSPs) in other organisms, those in plants are
the most abundant and diverse. However, the molecular mechanisms by which sHSPs are …

RNA editing changes the sequence of many transcripts in plant organelles, but little is
known about the molecular mechanisms determining the specificity of the process. In this …

To characterize MDa-sized macromolecular chloroplast stroma protein assemblies and to
extend coverage of the chloroplast stroma proteome, we fractionated soluble chloroplast …

Little is known about DNA and RNA metabolism during leaf development and aging in the
model organism Arabidopsis. Therefore we examined the nuclear and plastidial DNA …

Transcription of plastid chromosomes in vascular plants is accomplished by at least two
RNA polymerases of different phylogenetic origin: the ancestral (endosymbiotic) …

The coordinated expression of genes distributed between the nuclear and plastid genomes
is essential for the assembly of functional chloroplasts. Although the nucleus has a pre …

Eubacterial‐type multi‐subunit plastid RNA polymerase (PEP) is responsible for the
principal transcription activity in chloroplasts. PEP is composed of plastid‐encoded core …
