Plastid-nucleus communication: anterograde and retrograde signalling in the development and function of plastids

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Cell and Molecular Biology of Plastids

Part of the book series: Topics in Current Genetics ((TCG,volume 19))

Abstract

Plastids are organelles that are a unique feature of plant cells. They represent an importantmetabolic and genetic compartment that is essential for almost all aspects in the life of a plant.Its endosymbiotic origin requires the establishment of novel signalling pathways between the organelleand the nucleus of the host cell. During evolution, therefore, a complex regulatory networkevolved that couples development and function of the organelles to that of the cell. Nowadays, thenucleus controls most aspects of plastids by providing proteins essential for plastid processes. This“anterograde” signalling, however, is complemented by a backward flow of informationfrom the plastid to the nucleus. This “retrograde” signalling represents a feedbackcontrol that reports the functional state of the organelle to the nucleus. This means that extensivecommunication between the two compartments is established. This helps the plant to perceive and respondproperly to varying environmental influences and to developmental signals at the cellular level. Theinteraction and mutual dependency of anterograde and retrograde signals are discussed with respectto recent observations. Models are presented that provide a unifying view of the different knownpathways.
