Abstract excerpt
The plastid plays a vital role in various cellular activities within plant cells including photosynthesis and other metabolic pathways. It is believed that the functional status of the plastid is somehow monitored by the nucleus to optimize the expression of genes encoding plastid proteins. The currently dominant model for plastid-derived signaling ("plastid signaling") proposes that Mg-protoporphyrin IX...
