The work helps resolve the controversy surrounding the role of Toc64 as a receptor, as previous studies showed little effect on chloroplast protein import when Toc64 was deleted.

J Biol Chem 280 (2005) 16476-16483. The authors identify and characterise a plant mitochondrial protein that links the inner and outer membrane, the first such protein identified in plants. This protein belongs to a family of preprotein and amino acid transporters that is greatly expanded in plants compared to mammalian and fungal systems. This suggests novel roles for members of this family of proteins in plants.

Evidence for a protein transported through the secretory pathway en route to the higher plant chloroplast. Nat Cell Biol 7 (2005) 1224-1231. Extraordinary conclusions require extraordinary proof, and this paper provides it to support the amazing finding that a plastid carbonic anhydrase follows the secretory pathway through the ER and Golgi (where it is glycosylated) before arriving, by unknown mechanisms, inside chloroplasts.
