Abstract

Plastids are membrane-bound organelles which have their own genome, known as plastome, that encodes various genes involved in the production of energy for the cells. Similar to mitochondrial genomes, plastomes also exhibit disparate architectures with variable structure and content. At present, the number of sequenced plastid genomes exceeds 1400 in the genomic databases, which was possible with the recent advances in the sequencing technology. This genomic data of plastids has been extensively used to investigate evolutionary relationships between plants. Since the size of the plastid genome is smaller, therefore, sequencing of plastid genome is a cost-effective way to decipher information content within this genome.As the number of sequenced plastid genomes is becoming increasingly available in public databases, many potential applications of plastid genomes such as barcoding, gene loss, plastid DNA replication, and their role in synthetic biology(Tonti-Filippini et al. (2017) Plant J 90(4):808–818) are being proposed. In this chapter, we have summarized the currently available plastid genomes and reviewed the plastomes of some of the important plant families including grass and legumes.
