Annual Plant Reviews, Volume 13

Plastids are essential plant organelles, vital for life on
earth. They are important not just as photosynthetic organelles
(chloroplasts) but also as sites involved in many fundamental
intermediary metabolic pathways. Over the last decade, plastid
research has seen tremendous advances and an exciting new picture
is emerging of how plastids develop and function inside plant
cells. The recent and rapid progress in the field has been due
largely to reverse genetic approaches and forward genetic screening
programs, which have resulted in the dissection of numerous
chloroplast protein-function relationships.

This book provides an overview of the current state of the art.
It is directed at researchers and professionals in plant
physiology, cell biology, genetics, molecular biology and
biochemistry.
