Abstract
The aim is to characterise components of a novel plastid-to-nucleus signalling pathway regulating expression of nuclear genes encoding photosynthesis components in response to the state of protein synthesis in the plastid. Two Arabidopsis gun (genomes uncoupled) mutants which express nuclear photosynthesis genes in the presence of lincomycin, an inhibitor of plastid protein synthesis, will be characterised morphologically, biochemically and genetically. These gun loci will be identified by map-based cloning. The subcellular location of the encoded proteins and the identity of interacting proteins will provide important information on this novel signal transduction pathway.
