RNA-seq of Col-0, cia2, cil and cia2/cil

Chloroplast-to-nucleus retrograde signaling is essential for cell function, acclimation to fluctuating environmental conditions, plant growth and development. The vast majority of chloroplast proteins are nuclear-encoded and must be imported into the organelle after synthesis in the cytoplasm. This study presents transcriptome profiling of mutants in CIA2 and CIL genes that are suggested to be involved in chloroplast-to-nucleus retrograde signaling.
