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.

来自阳光的能量是通过植物中的光合作用捕获的，为陆地食物链提供了基础。这个过程发生在叶绿体中，这是从十亿年前衍生出的光合细菌的亚细胞结构。叶绿体具有自己的DNA，其中包含编码最重要的光合蛋白的基因。该项目旨在为研究叶绿体基因的研究提供世界上最好的资源。在此过程中，我们将发现如何调节这些重要的基因以在正确的时间，正确的细胞中提供适当量的光合蛋白。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。
