Diversity and Evolution of Plastids and Their Genomes -- The Chloroplast Envelope Proteome and Lipidome -- The Chloroplast Protein Import Apparatus, Its Components, and Their Roles -- Chloroplast Membrane Lipid Biosynthesis and Transport -- The Role of Metabolite Transporters in Integrating Chloroplasts with the Metabolic Network of Plant Cells -- Retrograde Signalling -- Plastid Division Regulation and Interactions with the Environment -- Chloroplast Photorelocation Movement -- A Sentinel Role for Plastids. Chloroplasts are vital for life as we know it. At the leaf cell level, it is common knowledge that a chloroplast interacts with its surroundings - but this knowledge is often limited to the benefits of oxygenic photosynthesis and that chloroplasts provide reduced carbon, nitrogen and sulphur. This book presents the intricate interplay between chloroplasts and their immediate and more distant environments. The topic is explored in chapters covering aspects of evolution, the chloroplast/cytoplasm barrier, transport, division, motility and bidirectional signalling. Taken together, the contributed chapters provide an exciting insight into the complexity of how chloroplast functions are related to cellular and plant-level functions. The recent rapid advances in the presented research areas, largely made possible by the development of molecular techniques and genetic screens of an increasing number of plant model systems, make this interaction a topical issue. |
