Abstract excerpt
Annually, chloroplasts fix 258 billion tons of CO2 through photosynthesis. Photosynthesis and other biochemical pathways require specific amounts of metal ions in the organelle. Transport proteins in the plastid inner envelope maintain the organellar ion homeostasis. Despite substantial progress over the last decades, many genes encoding plastid ion channels and ion carriers or their regulators remain unknown. To...
