This paper examines the coordinated expression of plastid and nuclear genes for chlorplast development and provides an opportunity to understand how plants sense and alter gene expression in response to light. Topic areas covered include the following: changing perspectives of plastid transcription; plastid genome organization; protein stoichiometry, mRNA abundance, and transcription rates; significance of plastid mRNA stability; overall dynamics of chloroplast transcription; differential transcription during chloroplast development;special role for a nuclear-encoded plastid-localized RNA polymerase. 27 refs., 1 fig., 1 tab.
