Full Description
This text provides an overview of the field of chloroplast ribosomes. Topics covered include: plastid rRNAs and tRNAs; structure, organization and expression of their genes; plastid ribosomal proteins and their genes in higher plants; plastid ribosomes and factors of algae and of cyanelles; functional aspects; and physiological aspects. The book stresses the fact that biosynthesis function of the translational apparatus relies upon two separate genetic systems and thus produce particular regulatory problems with fundamental significance. The evolutionary kinship of chloroplast and prokaryotic ribosomes is described as are some differences between them. This book of proceedings on plant molecular biology, plant biochemistry and plant cell biology is intended for researchers and advanced students.
