Imaging of the Entry Pathway of a Cell-Penetrating Peptide–DNA Complex From the Extracellular Space to Chloroplast Nucleoids Across Multiple Membranes in Arabidopsis Leaves

Each plant cell has hundreds of copies of the chloroplast genome and chloroplast transgenes do not undergo silencing. Therefore, chloroplast transformation has many powerful potential agricultural and industrial applications. We previously succeeded in integrating exogenous genes into the chloroplas...
