The circadian clock of cyanobacteria is composed of KaiA, KaiB, and KaiC proteins, and the SasA-RpaA two-component system has been implicated in the regulation of one of the output pathways of the clock. In this study, we show that another respons...
Cells of land plants contain several kinds of plastids such as chloroplasts, etioplasts, proplastids, leucoplasts, and amyloplasts. Among them, the chloroplast, the most well characterized type of plastid, relies on expression of plastid-encoded p...
In addition to the cell nucleus, plant cells also possess genomic DNA and gene expression machineries within mitochondria and plastids. In higher plants, retrograde transcriptional regulation of several nuclear genes encoding plastid-located prote...
Amyloplasts, a subtype of plastid, are found in nonphotosynthetic tissues responsible for starch synthesis and storage. When tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) Bright Yellow-2 cells are cultured in the presence of cytokinin instead of auxin, their plasti...
In plant cells, organelle DNA replication (ODR) is coordinated with nuclear DNA replication (NDR), with ODR preceding NDR during cell cycle progression. We previously showed that the occurrence of ODR is signalled by a tetrapyrrole compound, most ...
