Rice chloroplasts become more spherical under salt stress
Though the cause isn’t clear, the chloroplasts may be reacting to carbon dioxide or light levels.

Fusarium wilt of cucumber plants is not caused by water shortage
Although leaf wilt occurred in both water stress and FOC infection, the physiological responses were different, especially in leaf spatial distribution.

Even plants find it healthy to eat their greens.
Iridoplasts, out of the shadows at last
Why can you find colourful plants, where they’re hardest to see? Iridoplasts, an overlooked plastid, improve photosynthesis and look great while doing it.

Tann-fastic, a new plant organelle(!!)
Jean-Marc Brillouet et al. have identified a new organelle in plant cells: the ‘tannosome’ is involved in the formation of condensed tannins.
Chloroplasts are how old???
Relocation, relocation, relocation…
A study shows cold-induced organelle relocation in the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha, not only of chloroplasts, but nuclei and peroxisomes, too.
