Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In this study, we focused on the chloroplast damage due to solar radiation and the clearance system of damaged chloroplasts in Arabidopsis plants. The data supports three major conclusions as follow; (i) the property of chloroplast damage varies due to the type of radiation, (ii) autophagy plays an important role in plant response to UVB damage, (iii) Photodamage induces the digestion of entire collapsed chloroplasts by an autophagy process termed chlorophagy.
