Product Description:
Thepast two decades have witnessed an enormous progress in ourunderstanding of plastid (chloroplast) biology. Basic principles ofplastid biogenesis, genome structure and function, gene expression andits regulation as well as plastid-nuclear interaction and communicationpathways have been elucidated. In addition, the possibility to directlyalter the genetic information of the plastid by transformation hasfacilitated the study of virtually all aspects of plastid biology invivo and, moreover, has paved the way to diverse applications oftransgenic plastids in biotechnology.
The present book provides acomprehensive overview of our current knowledge on plastid biogenesis,plastid-nuclear communication, the regulation of plastid geneexpression at all levels, and also assesses the state of the art in keytechnologies, such as proteomics and chloroplast transformation.Written by recognized experts in the field, it covers plastiddifferentiation and division, genome structure and function, plastidinheritance, recombination, DNA replication and repair, transcription,RNA processing and translation as well as crucial posttranslationalprocesses in plastid biogenesis and function, including proteinprocessing, the assembly of multiprotein complexes, protein stabilityand degradation, protein import and sorting.
