Chloroplast photorelocation is a vital organellar response that optimizes photosynthesis in plants amid fluctuating environmental conditions. Chloroplasts exhibit an accumulation response, in which they move toward weak light to enhance photoreception, and an avoidance response, in which they move away from strong light to avoid photodamage. Although chloroplast photorelocation has been extensively studied in model plants such as , little is known about this process in the economically important crop strawberry. Here, we investigated chloroplast photorelocation in leaf mesophyll cells of wild strawberry (), a diploid relative of commercially cultivated octoploid strawberry (. × ). Microscopy observation revealed that the periclinal area of leaf mesophyll cells in is considerably smaller than that of . Given this small cell size, we investigated chloroplast photorelocation in by measuring light transmittance in leaves. Weak blue light induced the accumulation response, whereas strong blue light induced the avoidance response. Unexpectedly, strong red light also induced the accumulation response in . These findings shed light on chloroplast photorelocation as an intracellular response, laying the foundation for enhancing photosynthesis and productivity in .

Many ferns thrive even in low-light niches such as under an angiosperm forest canopy. However, the shade adaptation strategy of ferns is not well understood. Phytochrome 3/neochrome (phy3/neo) is an unconventional photoreceptor, found in the fern Adiantum capillus-veneris, that controls both red and blue light-dependent phototropism and chloroplast photorelocation, which are considered to improve photosynthetic efficiency in ferns.

Article Synopsis
- Plants adapt to changing light conditions through chloroplast movement, which helps optimize photosynthesis and prevent damage from intense light.
- The study focuses on the role of the protein CHUP1, which is crucial for this chloroplast movement by regulating the actin filaments associated with chloroplasts in Arabidopsis thaliana.
- Researchers found that CHUP1’s structure and function support actin polymerization, marking it as a unique plant protein that facilitates this movement in response to light.

CO -induced chloroplast movement was reported in the monograph by Gustav Senn in 1908: unilateral CO supply to the one cell-layered moss leaves induced the positively CO -tactic periclinal arrangement of chloroplasts. Here, using the model moss plant Physcomitrium patens, we examined basic features of chloroplast CO -tactic relocation with a modernized experimental system. The CO relocation was light-dependent and, especially, CO relocation in red light was substantially dependent on photosynthetic activity.

Plants have mechanisms to relocate chloroplasts based on light intensities in order to maximize photosynthesis and reduce photodamage. Under low light, chloroplasts move to the periclinal walls to increase photosynthesis (accumulation) and move to the anticlinal walls under high light to avoid photodamage, and even cell death (avoidance). Arabidopsis blue light receptors phot1 and phot2 (phototropins) have been reported to regulate chloroplast movement.
