Abstract excerpt
The concept of plastid signalling posits that signals originating from chloroplasts modulate nuclear gene expression (NGE). Put simply, it claims that signalling factors are exported from the chloroplast, traverse the cytosol, and act in the nucleus. Pertinent signals are thought to derive from various sources, including the tetrapyrrole pathway, protein synthesis, reactive oxygen species, or the redox state of...
