Instability of plastid DNA in the nuclear genome.

PLoS genetics - 1 Jan 2009

Sheppard Anna E, Timmis Jeremy N

Abstract excerpt

Functional gene transfer from the plastid (chloroplast) and mitochondrial genomes to the nucleus has been an important driving force in eukaryotic evolution. Non-functional DNA transfer is far more frequent, and the frequency of such transfers from the plastid to the nucleus has been determined experimentally in tobacco using transplastomic lines containing, in their plastid genome, a kanamycin resistance gene...
