ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides novel plastid transit peptides that direct localization of attached moieties (e.g., polypeptides) into plant plastids. The present invention also relates to methods and compositions for localizing polypeptides to plant plastids including, but not limited to, transgenic plant production.
