- Abstract
The Plastid Preview Meeting held in Norwich, UK in September 2022 focused on exploring the potential of plastid biology and biotechnology. Plastids are organelles with various functions, including photosynthesis and pigment production. The meeting showcased cutting-edge research in plastid biology, including topics like protein import and plastid division. It also highlighted the use of plastids in biotechnology to produce valuable proteins and metabolites. The meeting emphasized the importance of understanding fundamental plastid processes and developing strategies to increase productivity and resilience in cyanobacteria, algae, and plants. The text discusses various topics related to plastid biology and function, including targeting proteins to specific plastid subcompartments and improving plastid transformation technologies. It concludes by acknowledging the diversity in the field of plastid research and the ongoing evolution of technologies in this area.
