Biogenesis of Plastids in Higher Plants

  • Chapter
Cell Organelles

Part of the book series: Plant Gene Research ((GENE))

Abstract

Two decades of research in organelle molecular biology have established that the biogenesis of organelles and ultimately the development, metabolism and evolution of higher plants are the result of an intimate molecular cooperation between three distinct cellular genetic compartments: nucleus/ cytosol, plastids and mitochondria. The implications of this genetic design become immediately clear after transfer of the plastids from one species into the nuclear background of another. Such an exchange can cause severe developmental disturbances of the resulting interspecific plastid/nuclear hybrids or cybrids and in extreme cases culminate in lethality. The hybrid organisms are frequently bleached (hybrid bleaching), but various characters that manifest themselves outside plastids may be impaired as well, such as gametogenesis or fertility (cf. Hagemann, 1992).
