Abstract:
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 characterization
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 knowledge
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 complement
of chloroplast proteins and their interactions are progressing rapidly, making the organelle a prime target for
systems biology research in plants.
