This review summarizes the current knowledge of the biosynthesis of tetrapyrroles in plants, key stages of this process regulation, as well as the available data on the participation of these compounds in the induction and transmission of retrograde signals. Possible sources of retrograde signals are considered. Par ticular attention is paid to the analysis of data on the signaling molecules that induce retrograde regulation. The interaction of retrograde signals with other cells signaling pathways is emphasized.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
