Screening and Identification of Candidate GUN1-Interacting Proteins in <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i>
Chloroplasts are semi-autonomous organelles governed by the precise coordination between the genomes of their own and the nucleus for functioning correctly in response to developmental and environmental cues. Under stressed conditions, various plastid-to-nucleus retrograde signals are generated to r...

Chloroplasts are semi-autonomous organelles governed by the precise coordination between the genomes of their own and the nucleus for functioning correctly in response to developmental and environmental cues.

Several partner proteins have been found to interact with GUN1 and facilitate its different regulatory functions.
