Plastid-to-Nucleus Signaling

  • Chapter
The Structure and Function of Plastids

Part of the book series: Advances in Photosynthesis and Respiration ((AIPH,volume 23))

The function of the eukaryotic cell depends on the regulated and reciprocal interaction between its different compartments. This includes not only the exchange of energy equivalents but also information. Most information exchange flows from the nucleus to the organelles, because the large majority of genes encoding proteins with organellar function are encoded in the nucleus.
