The paper introduces pamiR, a resource for plastid-specific gene silencing in plants, and demonstrates its use in identifying gene family members involved in plant physiology.

Disruption of KEA-mediated chloroplast ion homeostasis in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii reveals conserved and lineage-specific control of plastid rRNA processing and cell cycle progression.

The paper introduces a cost-effective, one-step protein purification method for plants using a DIY GFP-Trap-protease system, enabling rapid isolation of soluble and membrane-bound proteins.

This study shows plant cells tolerate high rates of organellar mistranslation, with plastids being more lenient than mitochondria, and reveals differences in stress responses.
