Article Synopsis
- Chlorophyll is crucial for celery quality, and RNA editing in chloroplasts plays a key role in its development and chlorophyll production.
- The study identified 8 MORF genes in celery, which regulate chloroplast RNA editing, and analyzed their properties and evolutionary relationships with similar plants.
- Results indicated that specific MORF genes are more highly expressed in green celery versus white celery, suggesting their significant role in chlorophyll accumulation and chloroplast development.

The color of purple carrot taproots mainly depends on the anthocyanins sequestered in the vacuoles. Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are key enzymes involved in anthocyanin transport. However, the precise mechanism of anthocyanin transport from the cytosolic surface of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the vacuoles in carrots remains unclear.
