Chloroplast RNA metabolism is integrated into wider gene regulatory networks. To explore how, we performed a chloroplast genome-wide expression analysis on numerous nuclear Arabidopsis mutants...
Evidence of a chimeric genome in the cyanobacterial ancestor of plastids (2008)
Gross, Jeferson, Meurer, Jörg, Bhattacharya, Debashish
Abstract Background Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a vexing fact of life for microbial phylogeneticists. Given the substantial rates of HGT observed in modern-day bacterial chromosomes, it is...

Chloroplast biogenesis: The use of mutants to study the etioplast–chloroplast transition
Philippar, Katrin, Geis, Tina, Ilkavets, Iryna, Oster, Ulrike, Schwenkert, Serena, Meurer, Jörg, ...
In angiosperm plants, the etioplast–chloroplast transition is light-dependent. A key factor in this process is the protochlorophyllide oxidoreductase A (PORA), which catalyzes the light-induced...
