The Molecular Biology ofChloroplasts and a genetic dissection
ofphotosynthesis was first Mitochondria in Chlamydomonas is the seventh

highly successful. It provided (Series Editor: Govindjee). Volume 1
dealtwith The genetic support for the linear Z scheme of Molecular
Biology of Cyanobacteria; Volume 2 with photosynthesis and led to the

6 with Lipids in Photosynthesis: Structure, During the past 20 years,
the powerful techniques of molecular biology and genetics, and the
Function and Genetics. The main goal ofthis book is to provide a
development ofmethods for efficient nuclear and comprehensive overview
ofcurrent research with chloroplast transformation of C. reinhardtii
have the green alga Chlamydomonas on chloroplast and greatly enhanced
the potential ofthis organism as an mitochondrial biogenesis and
function, with special experimental system for studying chloroplast
emphasis on the assembly and structure-function biogenesis. This has led
to impressive advances in relationships ofthe constituents ofthe
photosynthetic our understanding of the regulation of chloroplast
apparatus.
