According to the polyphyletic hypothesis of chloroplast                  evolution, present day plant cells evolved from the engulfment of               photosynthetic bacteria by colorless animal-like cells.                         Subsequently, the engulfed bacteria and host cell developed a                   symbiotic relationship, so that neither could survive alone.                    Part of this process involved the loss of hereditary information                from the two cells' gene libraries and a transfer of genes from                 the bacterial chromosome to the host cell chromosome. This                      proposal is to elucidate the mechanisms involved in determining                 which genes are to be maintained in the chloroplast, which are to               be transferred, and which are to be eliminated from the host                    cell/symbiont complex.  Initial experiments will identify the                   nature and location of individual genes in the chloroplast                      chromosome.  Subsequent studies will identify genes that have                   been transferred from chloroplast to host.  The overall goal is                 to test the endosymbiont hypothesis by examining the validity of                its predictions.
