โฆ Synopsis
Translational regulation plays a major role in plant gene expression. Recent advances have been made in understanding how this mechanism of control is directed in the chloroplast as well as in the cytoplasm. Our knowledge of translational regulation in plant mitochondria, however, is limited. Translational control of gene expression in yeast mitochondria suggests that similar mechanisms will also play a significant role in the expression of plant mitochondrial genes.

Chemical regulation of transgene expression presents a powerful tool for basic research in plant biology and biotechnological applications. Various chemical-inducible systems based on de-repression, activation and inactivation of the target gene have been described. The utility of inducible promoter
In eukaryotes, the synthesis of selenoproteins depends on an exogenous supply of selenium, required for synthesis of the novel amino acid, selenocysteine, and on the presence of a "selenium translation element" in the 3 ' untranslated region of mRNA. The selenium translation element is required to r
