Presentation description

Green plants are the essential organisms for a functional ecosystem on earth because of the photosynthesis that produces oxygen and food from light and atmospheric carbon dioxide, which occurs in chloroplasts. Chloroplast biogenesis requires the expression of photosynthesis-associated genes that are transcribed by chloroplast RNA polymerase complex called the PEP (Plastid-encoded RNA Polymerase). My research goal is to generate reporter lines that enable live imaging of the PEP complex in plants
