Origins of the amphiploid species Brassica napus L. investigated by chloroplast and nuclear molecular markers [PDF]
Background: The amphiploid species Brassica napus (oilseed rape, Canola) is a globally important oil crop yielding food, biofuels and industrial compounds such as lubricants and surfactants.

The remarkable chloroplast genome of dinoflagellates [PDF]
Dinoflagellates are an economically and ecologically important eukaryotic algal group. The organization of their chloroplast genome appears to be radically different from that in plants and other algae. The gene content has been dramatically reduced in dinoflagellates, with the large-scale transfer of genes to the nucleus.

Genome Editing of Plant Mitochondrial and Chloroplast Genomes
Abstract Plastids (including chloroplasts) and mitochondria are remnants of endosymbiotic bacteria, yet they maintain their own genomes, which encode vital components for photosynthesis and respiration, respectively. Organellar genomes have distinctive features, such as being present as multicopies, being mostly inherited maternally ...

History of chloroplast genomics [PDF]
The presence of chloroplast DNA was established in 1963. With the development of recombinant DNA technologies, chloroplast DNA was selected as one of the first candidates for genome sequencing. The first physical map was reported for maize chloroplasts in 1976.

AbstractBackgroundMassive parallel sequencing technologies have enabled the elucidation of plant phylogenetic relationships from chloroplast genomes at a high pace. These include members of the family Rhamnaceae. The current Rhamnaceae phylogenetic tree is from 13 out of 24 Rhamnaceae chloroplast genomes, and only one chloroplast genome of the genus ...

Evolution-Inspired Engineering of Diterpene Biosynthesis via Chloroplast Genome Modification. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Terpenes constitute the largest and most structurally diverse class of plant secondary metabolites, with critical roles in plant‐environment interactions and broad industrial applications. Although nuclear genome engineering of terpene pathways has been extensively explored, chloroplast genome engineering remains largely undeveloped, with most

RNA-Guided Engineering of the Chloroplast Genome Enabled by Plastid-Expressed Guide RNAs. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Our goal is to develop RNA‐guided engineering of the chloroplast genome using the CRISPR/Cas9 system. We designed chloroplast minigenes to obtain properly sized single guide RNAs (sgRNAs) in tobacco chloroplasts. The sgRNA 5′ end is defined by transcription from an rRNA operon promoter, and its 3′ end by processing a downstream tRNA (trnG) or ...

The Arabidopsis ppi1 mutant is specifically defective in the expression, chloroplast import, and accumulation of photosynthetic proteins [PDF]
The import of nucleus-encoded proteins into chloroplasts is mediated by translocon complexes in the envelope membranes. A component of the translocon in the outer envelope membrane, Toc34, is encoded in Arabidopsis by two homologous genes, atTOC33 and ...

Fine structural features of the chloroplast genome: comparison of the sequenced chloroplast genomes
The entire nucleotide sequences of the rice, tobacco and liverwort chloroplast genomes have been determined. We compared all the chloroplast genes, open reading frames and spacer regions in the plastid genomes of these three species in order to elucidate general structural features of the chloroplast genome.
