the nucleocytosolic system in the biosynthesis of the photosynthetic apparatus. The subunits of the pho- tosynthetic complexes are encoded by chloroplast and nuclear genes that need to be coordinately ex- pressed. The study of this molecular crosstalk be- tween chloroplast and nucleus was greatly helped by genetic approaches (7). The genetic analysis of pho- tosynthetic mutants of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and maize revealed a large number of nuclear and chloro-
