Chloroplasts have evolved from photosynthetic cyanobacteria-like progenitors through endosymbiosis. The chloroplasts of present-day land plants have their own transcription and translation systems that show several similarities with prokaryotic organisms. A remarkable feature of the chloroplast translation system is the use of non-AUG start codons in the protein synthesis of certain genes that are evolutionarily conserved from Algae to angiosperms.

- The agro-climatic conditions in North-East India pose challenges for rice cultivation, but local rice cultivars have adapted to these harsh environments.
- Genetic engineering offers a way to introduce desirable traits into these cultivars, although there is limited information on how to do this effectively.
- This study developed efficient procedures for transforming North-East rice cultivars to create transgenic plants, achieving successful plant regeneration in just 35-45 days, which can aid in introducing new traits and studying gene functions.
