Annotation. This volume summarises current knowledge of plastid and mitochondrial genomes in all major groups of algae and land plants. It includes chapters on endosymbioses, plastid and mitochondrial mutants, gene expression profiling and methods for organelle transformation.
The past decade has witnessed an explosion of our knowledge on the structure, coding capacity and evolution of the genomes of the two DNA-containing cell organelles in plants: chloroplasts (plastids) and mitochondria. Comparative genomics analyses have provided new insights into…
