The present book provides a comprehensive overview of our current
knowledge on plastid biogenesis, plastid-nuclear communication, and the
regulation of plastid gene expression at all levels. It also assesses
the state-of-the-art in key technologies, such as proteomics and
chloroplast transformation. Written by recognized experts in the field,
the book further covers crucial post-translational processes in plastid
biogenesis and function, including protein processing.
