Abstract Background Chloroplasts respond to stress and changes in the environment by producing reactive oxygen species (ROS) that have specific signaling abilities. The ROS singlet ( 1 O 2 ) is unique it can signal initiate cellular degradation including selective of damaged chloroplasts. This chloroplast quality control pathway be monitored Arabidopsis thaliana mutant plastid ferrochelatase two fc2 conditionally accumulates under diurnal light cycling conditions leading rapid eventual cell...
The primary CO2-fixing enzyme Rubisco limits the productivity of plants. small subunit (SSU) can influence overall levels and catalytic efficiency, is now receiving increasing attention as a potential engineering target to improve performance Rubisco. However, SSUs are encoded by family nuclear rbcS genes in plants, which makes them challenging engineer study. Here we have used CRISPR/Cas9 [clustered regularly interspaced palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein 9] T-DNA...
Abstract Chloroplasts can respond to stress and changes in the environment by producing reactive oxygen species (ROS). Aside from being cytotoxic, ROS also have signaling capabilities. For example, singlet ( 1 O 2 ) initiate nuclear gene expression, chloroplast degradation, cell death. To unveil mechanisms involved, researchers used several -producing Arabidopsis thaliana mutants as genetic model systems, including plastid ferrochelatase two fc2 ), fluorescent blue light flu chlorina ch1...
