Overview

This text shows late 1990s advances in chloroplast research, with contributions from 50 laboratories throughout the world. Subjects include advances in determining the molecular structure of key photosynthetic proteins, the regulation of chloroplast gene expression, the role of the chloroplast envelope membrane in the biogenesis of the organelle and the import machinery of nuclear encoded chloroplast proteins, the regulatory steps in chlorophyll and carotenoid biosyntheses, the processing/targeting/assembly of thylakoid protein components of photosynthetic units, and a discussion of the potential of chloroplast genetic manipulation as a tool in biotechnological applications.

Reviews

'It can be recommended to those graduate students and scientists already familiar with chloroplast research. Not only those having participated in this conference will appreciate this overview, but also all those who want to enter this field or want to obtain a broad information on the recent development in chloroplast research.' Journal of Plant Physiology, 157 (2000) 'The book is a very important up-to-date summary of what is new in chloroplast research, and the individual approach of the authors in writing the chapters stamps the character of the volume. It is a fascinating high-level reading for scientists and university students interested in plant physiology, genetic, biochemistry, and molecular biology.' Biologia Plantarum, 43:4(2000)
