ROS signaling and stromule formation. (A) Light induces stromule formation, presumably because of ROS generated during photosynthesis. (B) Inhibition of the photosynthetic electron transport chain by DCMU [3-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea] or DBMIB (2,5-dibromo-6-isopropyl-3-methyl-1,4-benzoquinone) increases ROS production and promotes stromule formation. (C) When ROS increases because of silencing of thioredoxin reductase, stromules are induced.
