Article Synopsis
- GOLDEN-like (GLK) transcription factors play a key role in chloroplast development and photosynthetic adaptation in Arabidopsis, influenced by signals from chloroplasts.
- Research shows natural variation in GLK1 regulatory networks among different Arabidopsis accessions, tied to their geographical origins and linked to genetic differences across various biological pathways.
- Accessions with higher GLK1 activity, typically from regions with fluctuating solar radiation, are better at adjusting to bright light and exhibit less photoinhibition.
Plant tetrapyrrole biosynthesis (TPS) provides the indispensable chlorophyll (Chl) and heme molecules in photosynthetic organisms. Post-translational mechanisms control the enzymes to ensure a balanced flow of intermediates in the pathway and synthesis of appropriate amounts of both endproducts. One of the critical regulators of TPS is GENOMES UNCOUPLED 4 (GUN4).
