TL;DR: It is hypothesize that each conversion from one plastid type into another is either accompanied or even preceded by significant changes in plastsid transcription suggesting that these changes represent important determinants of plastID morphology and protein composition and, hence, the plastids type.

TL;DR: This review focuses on the activation and action of plastid RNA polymerases, which play a key role in the development of new chloroplasts from proplastids and provides working models of their sequential expression and function.

TL;DR: In this paper, a 3D morphometric analysis across seven distant phytoplankton taxa was performed to reveal evolutionarily-conserved topologies of energy-managing organelles, and their role in phyto-ankton response at subcellular scales.

TL;DR: The albino pap7-1 mutant of Arabidopsis reveals the relative impact of light and plastid developmental stage on the expression of nuclear genes involved in metabolism and photosynthesis and indicates that a block in chloroplast biogenesis per se does not repress expression of them as suggested by earlier studies.

TL;DR: A selective impact of light on PAP gene expression is demonstrated and a high tissue specificity that is coupled to developmental progression especially during the transition from skotomorphogenesis to photomorphogenesis is uncovered.
