摘要
Dear Editor, In oxygenic photosynthetic organisms, carbon metabolism is regulated in a light-dependent manner by a distinctive ferredoxin/thioredoxin （Fd/TRX） redox sys- tem, in which Fd：TRX reductase （FTR） acts as the central redox transmitter to catalyze the reduction of TRX, with photosynthetic electrons coming from Fd （Schurmann and Buchanan, 2008; Dietz and Pfannschmidt, 2011）. Recently, there is increasing evidence to suggest the diverse functions of TRX in chloroplast development, which requires light- induced transcription and translation of nuclear and plas- tid genes, biosynthesis of lipids and pigments, assembly of photosynthetic pigment-protein complexes, etc.
