Abstract excerpt
Chloroplasts constantly experience photo-oxidative stress while performing photosynthesis. This is particularly true under abiotic stresses that lead to the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which oxidize DNA, proteins and lipids. Reactive oxygen species can also act as signals to induce acclimation through chloroplast degradation, cell death and nuclear gene expression. To better understand the...
