Cell and Molecular Biology of Plastids

The past two decades have witnessed an enormous progress in our understanding of plastid (chloroplast) biology. Basic principles of plastid biogenesis, genome structure and function, gene expression and its regulation as well as plastid-nuclear interactio

The cover illustration depicts pseudohyphal filaments of the ascomycete Saccharomyces cerevisiae that enable this organism to forage for nutrients. Pseudohyphal filaments were induced here in a wildtype haploid MATa Σ1278b strain by an unknown readily diffusible factor provided by growth in confrontation with an isogenic petite yeast strain in a sealed petri dish for two weeks and photographed at 100X magnification (provided by Xuewen Pan and Joseph Heitman).

Topics in Current Genetics publishes review articles of wide interest in volumes that center around specific topics in genetics, genomics as well as cell, molecular and developmental biology. Particular emphasis is placed on the comparison of several model organisms. Volume editors are invited by the series editor for specific topics, but further suggestions for volume topics are highly welcomed. Each volume is edited by one or several acknowledged leaders in the field, who invite authors and ensure the highest standard of content and presentation. Only solicited manuscript will be considered. All contributions are peer-reviewed. All papers are published online prior to the print version. Individual DOIs (digital object identifiers) make each article fully citable from the moment of online publication. All volumes of Topics in Current Genetics are part of the Springer eBook Collection. The collection includes online access to more than 3,000 newly released books, book series volumes and reference works each year. In addition to the traditional print version, this new, st
