Abstract: | During the past 50 years, the green unicellular alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii has played a key role as model system for the study of photosynthesis and chloroplast biogenesis. This is due to its well-established
nuclear and chloroplast genetics, its dispensable photosynthetic function in the presence of acetate, and its highly efficient
nuclear and chloroplast transformation systems. Considerable progress has been achieved in our understanding of the structure,
function, inheritance, and expression of nuclear, chloroplast, and mitochondrial genes and of the molecular cross-talk between
the nuclear, chloroplast, and mitochondrial genetic systems.
