Energy from sunlight is captured by photosynthesis in plants, providing the basis for the terrestrial food chain. This process takes place in chloroplasts, subcellular structures that derived from photosynthetic bacteria a billion years ago. Chloroplasts have their own DNA, containing genes encoding the most important photosynthetic proteins. This project aims to provide the world’s best resources for the study of chloroplast genes. In the process, we will discover how these important genes are regulated to provide photosynthetic proteins in the right amounts, in the right cells, at the right time. The knowledge and resources gained will facilitate improvement of photosynthetic function in future agricultural crops.

来自阳光的能量通过植物的光合作用获得，为陆地食物链提供了基础。这个过程发生在叶绿体中，叶绿体是10亿年前从光合作用细菌中衍生出来的亚细胞结构。叶绿体有自己的DNA，包含编码最重要的光合蛋白的基因。该项目旨在为叶绿体基因的研究提供世界上最好的资源。在这个过程中，我们将发现这些重要的基因是如何被调控的，以在正确的时间在正确的细胞中提供正确的数量的光合作用蛋白。所获得的知识和资源将有助于改善未来农作物的光合作用功能。
