Four distinct chloroplast DNA segments from Chlamydomonas reinhardii of 400, 415, 730 and 2300 bp which promote autonomous replication in yeast have been mapped on the chloroplast genome. Plasmids carrying these chloroplast DNA fragments are unstable in yeast when the cells are grown under non-selective conditions. Sequence analysis of three of these chloroplast ARS regions (autonomously replicating sequences in yeast) reveals a high AT content, numerous short direct and inverted repeats and the presence of at least one element in each region that is related to the yeast ARS consensus sequence. A/T TTTATPuTTT A/T. These three chloroplast regions share, in addition, two common elements of 10 and 11 bp which may play a role in promoting autonomous replication.

Background: Acquiring representative bacterial 16S rRNA gene community profiles in plant microbiome studies can be challenging due to the excessive co-amplification of host chloroplast and mitochondrial rRNA gene sequences that reduce counts of plant-associated bacterial sequences. Peptide Nucleic Acid (PNA) clamps prevent this by blocking PCR primer binding or binding within the amplified region of non-target DNA to stop the function of DNA polymerase. Here, we applied a universal chloroplast (p)PNA clamp and a newly designed mitochondria (m)PNA clamp to minimise host chloroplast and mitochondria amplification in 16S rRNA gene amplicon profiles of leaf, bark and root tissue of two oak species (Quercus robur and Q.

Chloroplast genomes present an alternative strategy for large-scale engineering of photosynthetic eukaryotes. Prior to our work, the chloroplast genomes of (204 kb) and (140 kb) had been cloned using bacterial and yeast artificial chromosome (BAC/YAC) libraries, respectively. These methods lack design flexibility as they are reliant upon the random capture of genomic fragments during BAC/YAC library creation; additionally, both demonstrated a low efficiency (≤ 10%) for correct assembly of the genome in yeast.

Introduction: Mitochondria are essential organelles that provide energy for plants. They are semi-autonomous, maternally inherited, and closely linked to cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) in plants. , a widely used medicinal plant from the Caprifoliaceae family, is rich in chlorogenic acid (CGA) and its analogues, which are known for their antiviral and anticancer properties.
