Abstract excerpt
Most of the nitrogen harvested with the seeds of annual crops is remobilized and retranslocated within the plant between anthesis and plant death. While chloroplasts contain most of the reduced nitrogen present in photosynthetically active leaf cells, the (major) pathway(s) involved in the degradation of their proteins prior to the retranslocation of the resulting amino acids are unknown. In this study, a...
