The invention discloses a method for converting a carbon source into ethylene glycol. The method comprises the following steps: providing a plastid, wherein the plastid comprises gene sequences of SEQ ID NO: 1, SEQ ID NO: 2, SEQ ID NO: 3, SEQ ID NO: 4, SEQ ID NO: 5 and SEQ ID NO: 6; implanting the plastid into blue-green bacteria by means of electroporation treatment to obtain modified blue-green bacteria; and providing the carbon source to the modified cyanobacteria, so that the modified cyanobacteria converts the carbon source into ethylene glycol, thereby producing chemicals with high economic value while treating the carbon-containing waste gas.

Compositions and methods for introducing targeted mutations into the plastid genome are provided.

This invention relates to methods of producing exogenous collagen in photosynthetic organelles and photosynthetic organisms, in particular methods of producing exogenous collagen in the plastid of an alga or plant, particularly in chloroplasts. Genetically altered algae and genetically altered plants, plant parts thereof or plant cells which express collagen in their chloroplasts are also included.

A method of expressing an agronomically or non-agronomically beneficial trait in a plant plastid comprising expressing an exogenous nucleic acid in the plant to produce non-photosynthetic mutant plants, and using callus grown from the mutant plants as recipients for introduction of a construct having a functional copy of the mutated gene and a gene conferring an agronomically or non-agronomically beneficial trait. Embodiments provide for mutations in chloroplast-encoded genes, as well as mutations in nuclear-encoded genes targeted to the chloroplast that are required for photosynthesis, plants and plant parts produced from such methods, as well as kits for performing the methods as described.
