Abstract excerpt
Chloroplast division is mediated by the coordinated action of a prokaryote-derived division system(s) and a host eukaryote-derived membrane fission system(s). The evolutionary conserved prokaryote-derived system comprises several nucleus-encoded proteins, two of which are thought to control division site placement at the midpoint of the organelle: a stromal ATPase MinD and a topological specificity factor MinE....
