The chloroplast genome codes for all the rRNA& tRNA species needed for protein synthesis. The ribosomes include two small rRNAs in addition to the major species.The tRNAset resembles that of Mitochondria in including fewer spp. than would suffice in the cytoplasm. The chloroplast genome codes for ~50 proteins, including RNA polymerase &some ribosomal proteins. Again the rule is that organelle genes are transcribed& translated the apparatus of the organelle. The chloroplast genome of the higher plants varies in length, but displays a characteristic landmark. It has a lengthing sequence,10-24kb depending on the plants, that is present in two identical copies as an inverted repeat(Gene that are coded with in the inverted repeats are present in two copies per genome &include the rRNA genes). The organization of genome is summarized TABLE. Table (1) The chloroplast genes codes for 4rRNAs,30tRNAs&~40 proteins.
