TL;DR: Plastid transformation is a promising tool for HIV antigen manufacturing in plant cells by integrating and expression of the gag transgene in the plastome resulted in significantly higher protein accumulation levels.

TL;DR: The data suggest the activation of a specific retrograde signaling pathway and interconnection with ABA signaling network in tomato, and the involvement and fine regulation of such pathway need to be further investigated through the development and characterization of ad hoc designed plant mutants.

TL;DR: The very high production level of thermophilic and hyperthermophilic enzymes, their stability and bioconversion efficiencies described in this study demonstrate that plastid transformation represents a real cost-effective production platform for cellulolytic enzymes.

TL;DR: Divergence and positive selection analyses unveiled that protein-coding genes were generally well conserved, but 25 positive signatures distributed in six genes involved in different essential plastid functions were identified, suggesting positive selection during evolution of Capsicum plastomes.

TL;DR: A dramatic reduction in genetic diversity was detected in cultivated tomatoes and the occurrence of a cytoplasmic bottleneck during their domestication is suggested to suggest the occurrenceOf course, S. pimpinellifolium is the closest ancestor of all cultivated tomatoes.
