Methods for transforming plants plastids and making transplastomic plants

摘要

Disclosed are methods for transforming plastids and moving transformed plastids from one plant to another. Also disclosed are transplastomic plants, parts thereof, and seed derived therefrom. Further disclosed is a cell or protoplast of a plant, or a culture thereof (e.g., a callus culture) wherein the cell or protoplast contains a plastid obtained from a cell of a genetically distinct plant and that contains a nucleic acid of interest.
