Term Name: plastid translation Search Ontology:
Synonyms:
  • plastid protein anabolism
  • plastid protein biosynthesis
  • plastid protein formation
  • plastid protein synthesis
  • plastid protein translation
Definition: The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of a protein in a plastid. This is a ribosome-mediated process in which the information in messenger RNA (mRNA) is used to specify the sequence of amino acids in the protein; the plastid has its own ribosomes and transfer RNAs, and uses a genetic code that differs from the nuclear code.
