Intracellular signalling: the chloroplast talks!
Plant cells have a unique problem: the coordination of three different genomes. While the dominance of the nuclear genome is indisputable, it is now clear that organellar signals can have profound effects, not just on nuclear gene expression but, as the Arabidopsis laf6 mutant reveals, also on whole plant morphology.
