Despite transplastomics being non- viable for non green plastids at the moment, plant transplastomics work done on the chloroplast genome has proved extremely valuable. The applications for chloroplast transformation includes and is not limited to agriculture, bio-fuel and bio-pharmaceuticals. This is because of a few factors, which include ease of multiple transgene expression in the form of operons and high copy number expression. The study of transplastomics still remains a work in progress. More research and development is still required to improve other areas such as transplastomics in non- green plastids, inability to transform cereal crops through transplastomics and a way to circumvent the lack of glycosylation capability in the chloroplast. Further improvements in this field of study will only give us a potential robust biotechnological route in many applications important in our day to day lives.
