Plastid development in seedlings of Arabidopsis thaliana is affected by the transfer of (1)O(2)-mediated retrograde signals from the plastid to the nucleus and changes in nuclear gene expression during late embryogenesis. The potential impact of these mechanisms on plastid differentiation is maintained throughout seed dormancy and becomes effective only after seed germination. Inactivation of the 2 nuclear-encoded plastid proteins EXECUTER1 and EXECUTER2 blocks (1)O(2)-mediated retrograde signal ...[more]
