| Research Abstract |
In this study, to further clarify transcriptional regulation in Arabidopsis thaliana chloroplasts, Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP)-based method has been established. Novel target promoters for SIG1, an essential sigma factor in A.thaliana, as well as those for SIG5, a multiple stress-induced chloroplast sigma factor were identified respectively. These results suggest that ChIP analysis is useful to understand transcriptional regulation of chloroplast genes.
