The import of ATP into plastids is facilitated by members of the plastidic ATP/ADP transporter (AATP) family. Our results indicate that the cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) genome possesses two genes encoding for putative ATP/ADP translocases, which we have designated as MeAATP1 and MeAATP2. Their...
