Abstract excerpt
In photosynthetic organisms, tetrapyrrole-mediated retrograde signals are proposed to contribute to a balanced nuclear gene expression (NGE) in response to metabolic activity in chloroplasts. We followed an experimental short-term approach that allowed the assessment of modified NGE during the first hours of specifically modified enzymatic steps of the Mg branch of tetrapyrrole biosynthesis, when pleiotropic...
