CLOROPLASTO Y LA MITOCONDRIA
• Both mitochondria and chloroplasts have double phospholipid bilayers. This appears
to have arisen by mitochondria and chloroplasts entering eukaryotic cells via
endocytosis.
• No histones

Retrograde Signaling & Regulation
Retrograde Regulation
- Regulation of nuclear genes by
the chloroplast
- Nuclear genes typically
encode chloroplast proteins
- Signaled by:
(1) Developmental state of the
plastid/gene expression
(2) Photo-oxidative stress
Anterograde Regulation
- Regulation of chloroplast genes
by nuclear gene products
- Occurs at most levels of
expression
