主 题:Chloroplast biology genetics genomics molecular biology proteomics transcriptome analysis
摘 要:Chloroplasts, the green differentiation form of plastids, are the sites of photosynthesis and other important plant functions. Genetic and genomic technologies have greatly boosted the rate of discovery and functional character- ization of chloroplast proteins during the past decade. Indeed, data obtained using high-throughput methodologies, in particular proteomics and transcriptomics, are now routinely used to assign functions to chloroplast proteins. Our knowl- edge of many chloroplast processes, notably photosynthesis and photorespiration, has reached such an advanced state that biotechnological approaches to crop improvement now seem feasible. Meanwhile, efforts to identify the entire com- plement of chloroplast proteins and their interactions are progressing rapidly, making the organelle a prime target for systems biology research in plants.
