叶绿体在维持地球上的生命方面起着至关重要的作用。从各种陆地植物中获得的800多个已测序的叶绿体基因组的可用性增强了我们对叶绿体生物学、细胞内基因转移、保护、多样性以及叶绿体转基因可以被工程化以增强植物农艺性状或产生高价值农业或生物医学产品的遗传基础的理解。在这篇综述中，我们讨论了叶绿体基因组序列对了解经济上重要的栽培物种的起源和驯化过程中发生的变化的影响。我们还讨论了叶绿体基因组的潜在生物技术应用。本文的在线版本（doi：10.1186/s13059-016-1004-2）包含补充材料，可供授权用户使用。
Chloroplasts play a crucial role in sustaining life on earth. The availability of over 800 sequenced chloroplast genomes from a variety of land plants has enhanced our understanding of chloroplast biology, intracellular gene transfer, conservation, diversity, and the genetic basis by which chloroplast transgenes can be engineered to enhance plant agronomic traits or to produce high-value agricultural or biomedical products. In this review, we discuss the impact of chloroplast genome sequences on understanding the origins of economically important cultivated species and changes that have taken place during domestication. We also discuss the potential biotechnological applications of chloroplast genomes.
