Abstract excerpt
Autophagy is an intracellular process leading to vacuolar degradation of cytoplasmic components, which is important for nutrient recycling. Autophagic degradation of chloroplastic proteins via Rubisco-containing bodies is activated in leaves upon low sugar availability in Arabidopsis and our recent study reveals the contribution of autophagy to nighttime energy availability for growth. Whereas metabolic analysis...
