A missense mutation in the gene encoding the Mg-chelatase subunit I leads to a viable pale green line with phenotypic features of potential interest for barley breeding programs

The paper identifies a missense mutation in HvCHLI causing reduced chlorophyll content in barley, which shows potential for breeding crops adapted to arid conditions.

Perturbation of protein homeostasis brings plastids at the crossroad between repair and dismantling

This study investigates how perturbing plastid protein homeostasis affects chloroplast quality control by modulating PRPS1 and PRPL4 gene expression, revealing distinct outcomes in chloroplast degradation and stress response.

GUN1 influences the accumulation of NEP-dependent transcripts and chloroplast protein import in Arabidopsis cotyledons upon perturbation of chloroplast protein homeostasis

This study shows GUN1 affects NEP-dependent transcript accumulation and chloroplast protein import in Arabidopsis cotyledons under conditions of chloroplast protein homeostasis disruption.
