METHODS AND COMPOSITIONS FOR MODIFICATION OF PLASTID GENOMES

摘要

The invention relates to methods of modifying a plastid genome using sequence specific nucleases, as well as reverse transcriptase polypeptides and plastid modification cassettes. The invention further relates to methods of modifying a plastid or a mitochondrial genome using ATP-dependent DNA ligase D (LigD) and DNA-binding protein Ku (Ku). Also included are the plants, plant cells, and seeds produced by these methods.
