Genomics of Chloroplasts and Mitochondria
This illustration is a collage of a photograph of the model moss Physcomitrella patens and the graphic maps of
its plastid (top/front) and mitochondrial (bottom/back) genomes. The Physcomitrella photograph (kindly pro-
vided by Anika Nicolaudius, Bonn and modifi ed with Adobe Photoshop Elements including the water color style
fi lter option) shows plantlets with developing light-brown spherical sporophytes. The organelle genome maps
(modifi ed with the Adobe tilting and shifting options) were constructed from the retrieved sequence fi les for the
plastid genome (GenBank accession number AP005672) and the mitochondrial genome (GenBank accession
number AB251495) using the freely available drawing tool for organellar genomes OGDRAW (http://ogdraw.
mpimp-golm.mpg.de/). For details on nomenclature and color coding of gene classes, see: Lohse M, Drechsel O
and Bock R (2007) OrganellarGenomeDRAW (OGDRAW) - a tool for the easy generation of high-quality custom
graphical maps of plastid and mitochondrial genomes. Curr Genet 52: 267–274.

The book series ADVANCES IN PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND RESPIRATION Including Bioenergy and
Related Processes provides a comprehensive and state-of-the-art account of research in
photosynthesis, respiration and related processes. Virtually all life on our planet Earth
ultimately depends on photosynthetic energy capture and conversion to energy-rich organic
molecules. These are used for food, fuel, and fi ber. Photosynthesis is the source of almost all
bioenergy on Earth. The fuel and energy uses of photosynthesized products and processes
have become an important area of study and competition between food and fuel has led to
resurgence in photosynthesis research. This series of books spans topics from physics
to agronomy and medicine; from femtosecond processes through season-long production to
evolutionary changes over the course of the history of the Earth; from the photophysics of
light absorption, excitation energy transfer in the antenna to the reaction centers, where the
highly-efficient primary conversion of light energy to charge separation occurs, through the
electrochemistry of intermediate electron transfer, to the physiology of whole organisms and
ecosystems; and from X-ray crystallography of proteins to the morphology of organelles and
intact organisms. In addition to photosynthesis in natural systems, genetic engineering of
photosynthesis and artifi cial photosynthesis is included in this series. The goal of the series
is to offer beginning researchers, advanced undergraduate students, graduate students, and
even research specialists, a comprehensive, up-to-date picture of the remarkable advances
across the full scope of research on photosynthesis and related energy processes. The
purpose of this series is to improve understanding of photosynthesis and plant respiration at
many levels both to improve basic understanding of these important processes and to
enhance our ability to use photosynthesis for the improvement of the human condition.
