CHLOROPLAST EVOLUTION. “Chloroplasts originated from endosymbiotic cyanobacteria, with the original symbiotic event estimated to have occurred approximately 1.5 billion years ago. In order to achieve a mutually beneficial endosymbiosis, two major events happened. First, the endosymbiont transferred the bulk of its genes to the host genome, and second, it developed protein import systems to translocate proteins from the host cytoplasm back into the endosymbiont.”
