Overview

Chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) is a type of DNA found within the chloroplast, a specialized organelle found in plants and algae. cpDNA is responsible for coding the instructions for photosynthesis which is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy. The cpDNA also contains instructions for other metabolic activities crucial to plant survival. In addition, cpDNA is an important tool for understanding plant evolution due to its unique properties and changes over time. Furthermore, cpDNA is used to identify plant populations and crop varieties, as well as for gene mapping.
