#Plastids appear to make use of the same protein as mitochondria to resolve #ribosome stalling by proline motifs. A fun project with great colleagues from @helsinki.fi Mitochondria and plastids really are best buddies that share everything.

Now online at @natplants.nature.com ‼️ Led by Jierui Zhao, a former PhD student @gmivienna.bsky.social & together w/ @moritznowack.bsky.social lab, we uncover how #autophagy shapes salt stress tolerance and lifespan. www.nature.com/articles/s41... www.nature.com/articles/s41... A short 🧵👇

This study reveals that enhanced autophagy in root-hair-forming cells helps Arabidopsis store excess sodium, control oxidative stress and tolerate salt stress.

🌿🟢 REVIEW 🟢🌿 This review focuses on recent advances in chloroplast biogenesis and chromoplast differentiation, with emphasis on transcriptional regulation, and identifies areas where further progress is needed – Hernández-Verdeja 🔗 doi.org/10.1093/jxb/... #PlantScience 🧪
Fig. 1 (shortened, full legend in paper): Nuclear transcriptional regulation of chloroplast biogenesis. Chloroplast development in cotyledons of land plants during the transition from seedlings germinating in the dark (etiolated) to green seedlings in the light. Plastids are inherited as proplastids in seeds. In etiolated cotyledons, proplastids differentiate into etioplasts, characterized by the prolamellar body (PLB). Perception of light initiates the light developmental programme and chloroplast development. The PLB starts to disaggregate, thylakoid membranes (tm) start to form, and chlorophyll accumulates. Transcription of nuclear genes involved in chloroplast development is actively inhibited in the dark by PIFs and their interaction with other proteins, such as EIN3 and BZR1. Light signalling pathways target PIFs and EIN3 for degradation, lifting the repression, and allow transcription and activity of several TFs, leading to massive transcriptional changes.
