The chloroplasts in terrestrial plants play a functional role as a major sensor for perceiving physiological changes under normal and stressful conditions. Despite the fact that the plant chloroplast genome encodes around 120 genes, which are mainly essential for photosynthesis and chloroplast biogenesis, the functional roles of the genes remain to be determined in plant's response to environmental stresses. Photosynthetic electron transfer D (PETD) is a key component of the chloroplast cytochrome bf complex. Chloroplast ndhA (NADH dehydrogenase A) and ndhB (NADH dehydrogenase B) interact with photosystem I (PSI), forming NDH-PSI supercomplex. Notably, artificial targeting of chloroplasts-encoded proteins, PETD, NDHA, or NDHB, was successfully relocated from cytosols into chloroplasts. The result suggests that artificial targeting of proteins to chloroplasts is potentially open to the possibility of chloroplast biotechnology in engineering of plant tolerance against biotic and abiotic stresses.

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) forms contact sites with the chloroplast. Exposing contact sites that contain both the chloroplast and the ER to localised high-fluence, wavelength specific, 405 nm violet light, hereinafter referred to as photostimulation, induces multiple, potentially interacting intra- and intercellular responses. The responses vary depending on the tissue type of the cell and the chloroplast.

Many proteins used in industrial and pharmaceutical applications are typically synthesized within the secretory pathway. While yeast and mammalian cells have been engineered to enhance the production of endomembrane-targeted proteins, similar strategies in plant cells remain underexplored. This study investigates the potential of arabidopsis leafy cotyledon 2 (AtLEC2), a key regulator of seed development, to enhance the production of proteins targeted to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) in Nicotiana benthamiana leaves.

Protein post-translational modifications (PTMs) regulate protein functions but remain poorly characterized in . This study examined three PTMs: lysine acetylation (Kac), lysine β-hydroxybutyrylation (Kbhb), and phosphorylation. Using LC-MS/MS, we identified 4571 Kac sites, 7812 Kbhb sites, and 6237 phosphorylation sites across 2455, 3109, and 2786 proteins, respectively.

Acidic stress is a formidable environmental factor that exerts adverse effects on plant growth and development, ultimately leading to a potential reduction in agricultural productivity. A low pH triggers Ca influx across the plasma membrane (PM), eliciting distinct responses under various acidic pH levels. However, the underlying mechanisms by which Arabidopsis plant cells generate stimulus-specific Ca signals in response to acidic stress remain largely unexplored.

Article Synopsis
- Diatoms are silicified algae crucial for ecosystems, featuring chloroplasts acquired through secondary endosymbiosis, distinct from those of land plants.
- Calcium signaling regulates various functions in primary plastids, and while it’s involved in photoprotection in diatoms, its specific role in diatom chloroplasts remains unclear.
- Research on the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum reveals that calcium elevations in the chloroplast stroma are triggered by high light and hydrogen peroxide, suggesting a unique regulatory mechanism in response to stress.
