The chloroplast has a central position in oxygenic photosynthesis and primary metabolism. In addition to these functions, the chloroplast has recently emerged as a pivotal regulator of plant responses to abiotic and biotic stress conditions. Chloroplasts have their own independent genomes and gene-expression machinery and synthesize phytohormones and a diverse range of secondary metabolites, a significant portion of which contribute the plant response to adverse conditions.

1. Introduction

As sessile organisms, plants have to cope with various environmental conditions that are unfavorable or stressful for their growth and development. These adverse environmental conditions include abiotic stresses such as drought, heat, chilling/freezing, salinity, and nutrient deficiency as well as biotic stresses such as herbivore attack and pathogen infection [1,2,3,4][1][2][3][4]. These abiotic and biotic stresses limit crop yields and cause tremendous economic losses. These adverse effects are getting worse due to climate change, increasing population, and less arable land [1,2][1][2]. Plants have evolved a number of strategies to sense stress signals and adapt to adverse environments. Increasing evidence has revealed the essential role of the chloroplast, an organelle for photosynthesis in green plants, in plant stress response and stress adaption [3,4,5][3][4][5].
The chloroplast is a double-membrane plant endosymbiotic organelle where photosynthesis takes place [5,6,7,8][5][6][7][8]. Chloroplasts have retained their own genomes, and the chloroplast genome contains approximately 120 genes involved in chloroplast activities such as energy production and gene expression [9,10][9][10]. Chloroplasts produce energy through photosynthesis and oxygen-release processes, which sustain plant growth and crop yield. As such, chloroplasts are responsible for the biosynthesis of active compounds such as amino acids, phytohormones, nucleotides, vitamins, lipids, and secondary metabolites [9]. Furthermore, the chloroplast plays a vital role in plant acclimation to environmental stresses [3,4,6][3][4][6]. When plants are in adverse environmental conditions, chloroplasts sense these stresses and synthesize biologically active compounds and phytohormones, which protect plants from environmental stresses. In addition, chloroplasts communicate with the nucleus through plastid-to-nucleus retrograde signaling to acclimate to environmental stresses (Figure 1) [3,11,12][3][11][12].

Figure 1. An overview of the various mechanisms in chloroplast response to adverse stresses. Adverse environmental stresses cause perturbations and generate signals in chloroplasts that regulate chloroplast gene expression and protein remodeling. A series of cellular activities are then triggered to restore chloroplast homeostasis. Adverse conditions can affect the structure, function, and development of chloroplasts. Chloroplasts synthesize biologically active compounds and phytohormones to acclimate to stresses. Moreover, the chloroplast is able to communicate its status to the nucleus through retrograde signaling to regulate nuclear stress-responsive genes. The SAL1/PAP, MEcPP, and ROS pathways act as important components of the chloroplast retrograde signaling pathway. Dashed lines indicate postulated regulation. ROS, reactive oxygen species; EX1/2, executor 1/2; MEcPP, methylerythritol cyclodiphosphate; PAP, phosphonucleotide 3′-phosphoadenosine 5′-phosphate.
Retrograde signaling pathways refer to the communications from the plastid to the nucleus [13]. The chloroplast functions as an environmental sensor. Fluctuations in the environment perturb chloroplast homeostasis, and the disturbance then drives the chloroplasts to communicate with the nucleus through retrograde signals. Eventually, plants remodel metabolism and gene expression to adapt to external stresses [7,11,12,13,14,15][7][11][12][13][14][15]. The retrograde signaling typically includes tetrapyrroles, phosphoadenosines, carotenoid oxidation products, isoprenoid precursors, carbohydrate metabolites, and reactive oxygen species (ROS) [16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23].
Under a series of unfavorable environmental conditions, chloroplasts generate the ROS retrograde signals including superoxide anion (O2−), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), hydroxyl radical (OH▪), and singlet oxygen (1O2) [7,18,24,25,26,27][7][18][24][25][26][27]. The ROS in plants can severely threaten their health and viability. However, under stressful conditions, ROS function as a retrograde signal and modify the nuclear transcriptome to cope with these adverse stresses. Plants have evolved many strategies to maintain ROS dynamic equilibrium and normal photosynthetic efficiency, including complicated redox reaction chains and the ROS-scavenging system [18,26,27][18][26][27]. Singlet oxygen is generated at photosystem II (PSII) under high-light conditions through the excitation of ground-state triplet oxygen [7,11,24,28,29][7][11][24][28][29]. The singlet-oxygen-mediated transcriptional responses were first identified in the flu Arabidopsis mutant [30,31][30][31]. The functional FLU protein is a nuclear-encoded plastid protein that negatively regulates chlorophyll biosynthesis and consequently accumulates the strongly photosensitizing chlorophyll precursor protochlorophyllide. When dark-treated flu mutants are moved into the light, the mutants specifically accumulate singlet oxygen [32]. The singlet oxygen regulates a set of nuclear genes called singlet oxygen-responsive genes (SORGs), and most of these genes play a role in photosynthesis, carbon metabolism and plastid mRNA processing [7,33][7][33]. The activity of singlet oxygen signaling requires two nuclear-encoded proteins, Executor (Ex) 1 and 2, which are located in the thylakoid membrane of chloroplasts [31,32,34,35,36,37][31][32][34][35][36][37]. Furthermore, it has been reported that the plastid ATP-dependent zinc metalloprotease FtsH2 is involved in EX1/EX2 signaling [38,39][38][39]. Studies also find that β-cyclocitral is another singlet oxygen signaling pathway, which occurs independently of EX1 and EX2 [38,39,40][38][39][40]. Hydrogen peroxide acts as another retrograde signaling molecule. The specific role of hydrogen peroxide is identified through an RNAi line of thylakoid membrane-bound ascorbate peroxidase (tAPX) [41]. A number of putative components of the hydrogen peroxide signal transduction network were identified, including a series of transcription factors, mitogenactivated protein kinases (MAPKs) and miRNAs [7,42][7][42].
Methylerythritol cyclodiphosphate (MEcPP), an intermediate of the methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway for plastid isoprenoid biosynthesis, functions as another retrograde signal to activate stress-responsive nuclear gene expression [23,43][23][43]. MEcPP was first identified by screening for mutants with elicited expression of hydroxyperoxide lyase (HPL). HPL is a nuclear stress-responsive gene and encodes a chloroplast enzyme, which plays a fundamental role in the defense-related molecules (such as the hormone jasmonic acid JA) synthesis [43]. The constitutively expressing HPL (ceh1) mutant was discovered. When exposed to high light or wounding stresses, plants accumulate MEcPP and regulate the expression of a series of nuclear genes [23,43,44,45][23][43][44][45]. Phosphonucleotide 3′-phosphoadenosine 5′-phosphate (PAP) is an important plastid metabolite and recently has emerged as a new retrograde signal for plant stress responses [16,46,47][16][46][47]. Chloroplast 3′ (2′), 5′-bisphosphate nucleotidase SAL1 can dephosphorylate PAP to adenosine monophosphate (AMP). When plants respond to drought and high light stresses, the activity of SAL1 is inhibited and PAP thus accumulates. PAP can regulate a series of nuclear stress-responsive genes [7]. Recent research has revealed the role of PAP in the drought stress response through regulating stomatal closure [46].

2. Chloroplast Response to Abiotic Stress

Advancing research has shown that chloroplasts play multifaceted roles in the plant response to various types of abiotic stress, including heat, chilling, salt, drought, and high light stresses.

2.1. Response to Heat Stress

Leaf photosynthesis is substantially affected by abnormal temperature stresses, including heat stress which is usually 10–15 °C above an optimum temperature for plant growth or chilling stress which occurs in the temperatures range 0–15 °C [27,48][27][86]. Chloroplasts play an essential role in activation of physiological adaptive processes to these adverse temperature stresses.
It is reported that the chloroplast is sensitive to high-temperature stress during photosynthesis [48][86]. Research has revealed a close association between the chloroplast-related genes and high-temperature stress in the model plant rice. The expression of more than two hundred genes was upregulated in response to heat stress [49][87]. In a series of plant species, heat-induced leaf chlorosis has been observed [48][86]. After heat treatment, the activities of chlorophyll-degrading enzymes increased significantly, and the activity of key chlorophyll-synthesizing enzymes was unchanged [50][88]. Studies on genetic variations in hybrids of colonial (Agrostis capillaris) x creeping bentgrass (Agrostis stolonifera) indicated that the rapid breakdown of chlorophyll induced by heat stress was related to activation of genes encoding chlorophyllase and pheophytinase, and pheophytinase (PPH) activity [51][89]. The stay-green physiological traits were selected to evaluate the heat tolerance of plants and reveal the potential mechanism of heat damage associated with alterations in Chl metabolism and antioxidant and photosynthetic capacity. In creeping bentgrass species, adaptability to high temperature and stay-green genotypes was highly associated with chlorophyll metabolism [52][90]. Stay-green (SGR) genes encode magnesium dechelatase, and are involved in chlorophyll (Chl) degradation. Stay-green (SGR) homologs remove magnesium from Chl a, which is one of the most important components in the Chl degradation pathway in plants [53,54,55][91][92][93]. Under high-temperature conditions, accumulation of sugars in the peel was induced in bananas, and these sugars regulated Chl degradation through SGR proteins [56][48].
A series of research has shown that regulation of the activity of photosynthetic pathway enzyme Rubisco contributes to plant adaption to the heat stress. Rubisco activase (Rca1), a catalytic chaperone involved in modulating the Rubisco activity, plays a role in wheat response to heat stress [57][49]. The tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) chloroplast-targeted DnaJ protein (SlCDJ2) is located in the thylakoids and stroma of the chloroplasts. When plants respond to heat stress, SlCDJ2 protects Rubisco activity, and contributes to maintenance of CO2 assimilation capacity, which establishes a role for SlCDJ2 in coping with heat stress [58][50]. The tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) chloroplast-targeted DnaJ protein (LeCDJ1) also plays a role in plant response to high temperature [59][51].
Furthermore, the activity of PSI and PSII is severely affected by high-temperature conditions. In A. thaliana, heat stress can modulate the transcript accumulation of the plastid-encoded PSI and PSII genes such as the psaA, psaB, psbA, psbD, and psbN. Furthermore, the regulation is performed in part via the expression of HS-responsive nuclear genes for the plastid transcription machinery [60][94]. In wheat plants, the increased photosynthetic rate, improved ATPase activity in the thylakoid membrane, and enhanced efficiency of PSII photochemistry, which was achieved by overexpression of the ubiquitin/26S proteasome system TaUb2, contributed to plants coping with high-temperature stress [61][52]. When plants are exposed to transient heat waves, insufficient PSI photoprotection including the regulation of linear electron transport and the prevention of over-reduction, may affect the wheat photosynthetic capacity and make plants more susceptible to heat stress [62][95].
When plants were subjected to high-temperature stress, they generated large amounts of ROS and initiated related signaling events to survive the adverse environments [63][96]. In a recent study, researchers found that, under heat stress, the ROS levels contributed to mitigation of PSII photoinhibition in a coffee crop [64][97]. When plants respond to heat stress, the chloroplast heat-shock protein (Hsp) 21 becomes associated with the thylakoid membranes and plays a role in plant stress resistance [65][53].

2.2. Response to Low-Temperature Stress

In addition to high-temperature tolerance, chloroplasts are involved in plant cold-stress response. A series of studies have reported that chloroplasts can also perceive chilling stress signals, promote photosynthesis, and enhance plant resistance to adverse environment stress [27]. Previous and recent studies showed that low-temperature conditions could affect the abundance of various proteins involved in photosynthesis [27]. Through iTRAQ-based proteomic analysis between chilling-tolerant and chilling-sensitive rice lines, scientists revealed the dynamic response of chloroplast photosynthetic proteins under chilling conditions [66][98]. Systematic analysis of cold-stress response using transcriptome data was performed in rice, and the stay-green (SGR) proteins were identified as hub genes in this life process. Furthermore, SGR proteins were involved in the crosstalk between cold-stress responses and diurnal rhythmic patterns, providing new insights in understanding the plant environmental stress response against climate change [67][99].
Chilling can affect the structure, function, and development of chloroplasts [68][100]. Scientists revealed that chilling can induce structural changes during chloroplast biogenesis in cucumber cotyledons [69][101]. When exposed to low temperatures, plant chloroplasts changed the content of unsaturated fatty acids in chloroplast membranes to increase plant tolerance to the adverse temperatures [70][102]. When plants adapted to chilling stresses, the activities of chloroplast dark-reaction-related enzyme were also regulated. For instance, the reductive activity of two key enzymes involved in the Calvin cycle, fructose-1,6-diphosphatase (FBPase) and isoheptanone-1,7-diphosphatase (SBPase) was significantly reduced [71][54]. Low-temperature stress hinders chloroplast development and plant photosynthesis. The rice (Oryza sativa) RNA-binding protein DUA1 is required for RNA editing of the rps8-182 site, and plays a vital role in chloroplast development under low-temperature conditions [72][55]. The chloroplast gene psbA encodes the key D1 reaction center protein of PSII. Recently, the tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) WHIRLY1 (SlWHY1) was found to be induced by chilling conditions and could upregulate the transcription level of psbA through directly binding to the upstream region of its promoter (the sequence “GTTACCCT”). The increased D1 abundance enhanced plant resistance to photoinhibition caused by chilling stresses [73][56]. Scientists also found that SlWHY1 could increase the expression level of RbcS1, a member of the Rubisco small-subunit (RBCS) multigene family, and help plants maintain high Rubisco content under low-temperature conditions [74][57]. Despite the role of chloroplast-targeted DnaJ protein in plant response to heat stress, the function of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) chloroplast-targeted DnaJ protein (LeCDJ1) under chilling stress was also investigated. LeCDJ1 showed essential functions in maintaining PSII activity under low-temperature stress [75][58].
The ROS function has an important retrograde signal in chloroplasts under a series of unfavorable environmental conditions. Chilling stress can regulate the redox state of chloroplasts. When plants respond to chilling stress, the photosynthetic electron transport chain in chloroplasts transfers excess electrons to O2 and causes O2- increase in bermudagrass [76][103]. In A. thaliana, regulation of chloroplast-to-nucleus ROS signaling is a strategy to promote plants acclimation to cold stress [77][104]. Researchers revealed that melatonin increases the chilling tolerance of cucumber seedlings through regulating the ROS balance [78][105]. Scientists have also found that, under chilling stress, exogenous applications of acetylsalicylic acid can enhance the chloroplast antioxidant system activity and thus improve the tolerance of plants under low temperatures [79][106].
