Fibrillins are nuclear-encoded, plastid proteins associated with chromoplast fibrils and chloroplast plastoglobules, thylakoids, photosynthetic antenna complexes, and stroma. There are 12 sub-families of fibrillins. However, only three of these sub-families have been characterized genetically or functionally. We review evidence indicating that fibrillins are involved in plastoglobule structural development, chromoplast pigment accumulation, hormonal responses, protection of the photosynthetic apparatus from photodamage, and plant resistance to a range of biotic and abiotic stresses. The area of fibrillin research has substantial growth potential and will contribute to better understanding of mechanisms of plant stress tolerance and plastid structure and function.
原纤维蛋白是核编码的质体蛋白，与质体原纤维和叶绿体类囊体小球体、类囊体、光合天线复合物和基质有关。原纤维蛋白有 12 个亚家族。然而，只有其中三个亚家族在遗传或功能上得到了表征。我们综述了表明原纤维蛋白参与质体小球体结构发育、质体色素积累、激素反应、保护光合器官免受光损伤以及植物对多种生物和非生物胁迫的抗性的证据。原纤维蛋白研究领域具有巨大的增长潜力，将有助于更好地理解植物应激耐受和质体结构与功能的机制。
