Plastids in a Pinch: Coordinating Stress and Developmental Responses Through Retrograde Signalling Plastids can sense environmental stress and improve whole plant adaptation through retrograde communication to the nucleus. Recent studies have advanced our understanding of integrated canonical and ...

Very happy to see this review by @elizavveen.bsky.social, Jesse Küpers and myself now out in Plant Cell & Environment! About how stresses impact chloroplasts, and how this can steer plant development via retrograde signaling 🌱 @pph-wur.bsky.social onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/pce.15664

ER–plastid contact sites as molecular crossroads for plastid lipid biosynthesis - BMC Biology Membrane contact sites are specialized regions where organelle membranes are in close proximity, enabling lipid transfer while preserving membrane identity. In plants, ER‒chloroplast contact sites are...

I wanted my first post here to be special, so I’m excited to share our new review on lipid metabolism at ER–plastid contact sites!
