Abstract
► The evolutionary history of complex plastid includes at least three separate events of secondary endosymbiosis. ► Complex plastids have numerous compartments that are derived from cellular components of host and symbiont. ► A series of translocons enable the import of nuclear encoded proteins into the organelle. ► Molecular details of this import process is rapidly accumulating and a more and more detailed mechanistic model is emerging.
