TL;DR: It is shown that PTM, a chloroplast envelope-bound plant homeodomain (PHD) transcription factor with transmembrane domains, functions in multiple retrograde signal pathways and provides a molecular basis for the critical function of PTM in retrograde chloropleft signaling.

TL;DR: LPA1 appears to be an integral membrane chaperone that is required for efficient PSII assembly, probably through direct interaction with the PSII reaction center protein D1.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of exogenous application of glycinebetaine (GB) (10 mM) on growth, leaf water content, water use efficiency, photosynthetic gas exchange, and photosystem II photochemistry were investigated in maize plants subjected to salt stress (50 and 100 mM NaCI).

TL;DR: The results suggest that the impairment of carotenoid biosynthesis causes photo-oxidation and ABA-deficiency phenotypes, of which the latter is a major factor controlling the PHS trait in rice.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the increased thermostability of PSII seems to be associated with the increased resistance of the O(2)-evolving complex and the reaction centres of PS II to high temperature.
