The major nucleoid-associated protein WHIRLY1 promotes chloroplast development in barley

This study characterizes the barley WHIRLY1 mutant, showing it promotes chloroplast development by remodeling nucleoids and coordinating protein expression, but is not essential for chloroplast biogenesis.

Preparation of physiologically active inside-out vesicles from plant inner mitochondrial membranes

This paper describes a method to isolate physiologically active inside-out vesicles from plant mitochondrial inner membranes using freeze/thaw cycles, validated by electron microscopy and enzyme activity assays.

Dual targeting of TatA points to a chloroplast-like Tat pathway in plant mitochondria

The paper demonstrates that TatA can be imported into both chloroplasts and mitochondria, suggesting a shared Tat transport mechanism in plant endosymbiotic organelles.
