Deletion of core components of the plastid protein import machinery causes differential arrest of embryo development in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Abstract excerpt

Among the genes that have recently been pinpointed to be essential for plant embryo development a large number encodes plastid proteins suggesting that embryogenesis is linked to plastid localized processes. However, nuclear encoded plastid proteins are synthesized as precursors in the cytosol and subsequently have to be transported across the plastid envelopes by a complex import machinery. We supposed that...
