Chloroplasts play a role in stress responses
A graphic shows an image of a plant on the left, surrounded by some of the environmental stresses that a plant may be exposed to. On the right is an image of a plant cell showing how the chloroplast and mitochondrion receive the stress signal and, in turn, send signals to the nucleus where genes are turned on and off in response. This enables the plant to adapt.
Plants must weather a multitude of changes in their environment. Chloroplasts play a crucial role in enabling plant cells to survive various stresses, such as drought, flood and infection.
