High-efficiency generation of fertile transplastomic Arabidopsis plants

Update on Plastid Proteostatis in Transplastomic Plants Plastid Proteostasis and Heterologous Protein Accumulation in Transplastomic Plants

The insertion of transgenes into the plastid genome (plastome) has proved to be an effective alternative to nuclear transformation for producing stable transformants expressing heterologous proteins. Recently, methodology, characteristics, and possible fields of application of plastome transformation have been extensively reviewed (Lössl and Waheed, 2011; Scotti et al., 2012). From these report...

Plastid proteostasis and heterologous protein accumulation in transplastomic plants.

Innovative Concepts of High-Efficiency EfW Plants

Municipal waste has characteristics that make it particularly suitable for the generation of heat and power. Waste is generally available close to the location of heat and power consumption in towns and densely populated areas. The technology used in modern Energy-from-Waste (EfW) plants is such that the waste is transformed into a reusable ash and that the flue gases are no longer a significan...

Metabolic Adaptation in Transplastomic Plants Massively Accumulating Recombinant Proteins

BACKGROUND Recombinant chloroplasts are endowed with an astonishing capacity to accumulate foreign proteins. However, knowledge about the impact on resident proteins of such high levels of recombinant protein accumulation is lacking. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Here we used proteomics to characterize tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) plastid transformants massively accumulating a p-hydroxyphenyl...
