| Research Abstract |
The chloroplast is a site of photosynthesis, which produces carbohydrates and oxygen with solar energy. We have analyzed translation of several chloroplast genes and found variable important sequences among mRNA species, significance of mRNA processing and translational coupling of several genes. We also identified possible proteins for translational regulation in chloroplasts.
