From Endosymbiosis to Synthetic Photosynthetic Life [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 2010 The chloroplasts of photosynthetic eukaryotes arose more than 1.6 billion years ago ([Yoon et al., 2004][1]) through the process of primary endosymbiosis, in which a cyanobacterium became permanently integrated into a heterotrophic mitochondriate eukaryote ([Reyes-Prieto et al., 2007][2 ...

A New Classification Framework to Understand Evolutionary Transitions in Individuality
BioEssays, Volume 48, Issue 1, January 2026.Classifying biological entities based on whether and how the two fundamental aspects physiological and evolutionary components are represented yields six types of structural organization. The resulting framework allows to compare different forms of organization, and, in this way, provides insight into the evolutionary processes giving rise to these ...

The Future of Systematics: Tree-Thinking Without the Tree [PDF]
, 2012 Phylogenetic trees are meant to represent the genealogical history of life and apparently derive their justification from the existence of the tree of life and the fact that evolutionary processes are tree-like.

Breath-giving cooperation: critical review of origin of mitochondria hypotheses Major unanswered questions point to the importance of early ecology [PDF]
, 2017 The origin of mitochondria is a unique and hard evolutionary problem, embedded within the origin of eukaryotes. The puzzle is challenging due to the egalitarian nature of the transition where lower-level units took over energy metabolism.

Reassessing Interkingdom Horizontal Gene Transfer Suggests Limited Influence on Plant Genomes
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has been proposed as an important contributor to plant genome evolution, with hundreds of candidate genes reported across kingdoms. By reanalyzing published cases with updated genomic data and phylogenetic reconstructions, we found that only 29.3% remain consistent with interkingdom HGT.

Global discovery and characterization of small non-coding RNAs in marine microalgae [PDF]
, 2014 Background Marine phytoplankton are responsible for 50% of the CO2 that is fixed annually worldwide and contribute massively to other biogeochemical cycles in the oceans. Diatoms and coccolithophores play a significant role as the base of the marine food

Dynamin: The endosymbiosis ring of power? [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2003 One thing plant cells can't afford to get wrong is chloroplast division. The successful splitting and passing on of chloroplasts to daughter cells is vital to plant cell survival. Indeed, plants (and their progenitors the green algae) have been dividing and passing down their endosymbiotic chloroplasts successfully from generation to generation since ...

Animal emergence during Snowball Earths by thermosynthesis in submarine hydrothermal vents [PDF]
, 2009 Darwin already commented on the lateness in the fossil record of the emergence of the animals, calling it a valid argument against his theory of evolution^1^.
