Abstract

First observations that organelles are able to transmit their developmental and functional status back to the nucleus, where the majority of their proteins are encoded, date back almost half a century when impaired plastid protein synthesis in the albostrians barley mutant was found to also affect cytoplasmic protein synthesis (Bradbeer et al., 1979). Later on, it was similarly described how mutations in the mitochondrial genome modulate the expression of nuclear-encoded genes in yeast (Parikh et al., 1987). The term ‘retrograde organellar signalling’ was coined for these signals, and subsequently different genetic screens uncovered more and more players in these signalling pathways, mostly based on advanced genetic screens after chemical perturbation of plastid processes in plants (Woodson and Chory, 2008) or by employing yeast genetics for mitochondrial retrograde signalling (Liu and Butow, 2006).
