This study shows that RBD1 and HCF136 opposingly regulate psbA translation in response to light-induced D1 damage in chloroplasts.

The paper shows that light activates psbA translation in plants by relieving repression from the psbA ORF, which is mediated by HCF173 and HCF244.

This study identifies the localization of photosynthetic biogenesis and repair proteins in Arabidopsis thylakoid subdomains, revealing spatial heterogeneity and the curvature fraction's role in early photosystem assembly.

A synthetic PPR protein substitutes for HCF173, elucidating its role in activating psbA translation and demonstrating synthetic PPRs' ability to control chloroplast gene expression.

The paper investigates how different UTRs and tRNA elements affect gene expression in synthetic tobacco chloroplast operons, showing a wide range of expression levels controlled by PPR10.

This study shows that SPO11-1 localizes dynamically during meiotic recombination initiation in maize, and its loss affects both DSB formation and axial element structural changes.
