The accumulation of hydrogen peroxide in senescencing leaves and chloroplasts in relation to lipid peroxidation.
Adaptive evolution of chloroplast genome structure inferred using a parametric bootstrap approach.
Also, some promising research regarding genetic engineering of the chloroplast genome might result in genetic engineering methods that hobble transgene spread via pollen.
Plant chloroplasts are considered to be ancient cyanobacteria, acquired through endosymbiosis.
One of the early radiating lines of descent incorporated a cyanobacterium that became the chloroplast, and an -proteobacterium that became the mitochondrion.
Of the loci surveyed, five of 13 (38 %) showed variation in the chloroplast, while five of 16 (31 %) mitochondrial loci were variable.
All incongruent sites involve position 24037 of the chloroplast, which is a high frequency derived variant in our sample.
All these structures now provide a comprehensive view of how light regulates the activity of chloroplast enzymes through a chain of redox reactions.
