The plastid plays a vital role in various cellular activities within plant cells including photosynthesis and other metabolic pathways. It is believed that the functional status of the plastid is somehow monitored by the nucleus to optimize the expression of genes encoding plastid proteins. The currently dominant model for plastid-derived signaling (plastid signaling'') proposes that Mg-protoporphyrin IX (MgProto) is a negative signal that represses the expression of a wide range of nuclear genes encoding plastid-localized proteins when plastid development is inhibited. In this study, we have re-evaluated this hypothesis by quantifying the steady-state levels of MgProto (as well as its neighboring intermediates protoporphyrin IX and MgProto monomethyl ester [MgProtoMe]) in Arabidopsis plants with altered plastid signaling responses as monitored by expression of the Lhcb1, RBCS, HEMA1, BAM3 and CA1 genes. In addition, we have examined the correlation between gene expression and MgProto (MgProtoMe) in a range of mutants and conditions in which the steady-state levels of MgProto (MgProtoMe) have been modified. Overall we found that there was no correlation between the steady-state levels of MgProto (MgProtoMe) and Lhcb1 expression or with any of the other genes tested. Taking these results together, we propose that the current model on plastid signaling must be revised.
