Abstract

The role of chloroplast (cp) DNA in plastid and chloroplast function is discussed, particularly in relation to the interaction with nuclear DNA. The evolution of the chloroplast genome and the endosymbiont hypothesis are related to our results and those of others which show the occurrence of cpDNA sequences common to the nuclear and chloroplast genome.
