Chloroplast Biogenesis: From Proplastid to Gerontoplast

This is the first book that provides the complete story of chloroplast biogenesis, from proplastid to gerontoplast with mature chloroplast as the transient. Development of mature chloroplast from proplastid and subsequent transformation of the mature organelle to gerontoplast during senescence are critically reviewed in the background of regulatory events associated with them.
