Term Name:	plastid translation
Synonyms:	plastid protein anabolism, plastid protein biosynthesis, plastid protein formation, plastid protein synthesis, plastid protein translation
Definition:	The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of a protein in a plastid. This is a ribosome-mediated process in which the information in messenger RNA (mRNA) is used to specify the sequence of amino acids in the protein; the plastid has its own ribosomes and transfer RNAs, and uses a genetic code that differs from the nuclear code.
