Evolutionary Dynamics of Cryptophyte Plastid Genomes [PDF]
Genome Biology and Evolution, 2017 Cryptophytes are an ecologically important group of largely photosynthetic unicellular eukaryotes. This lineage is of great interest to evolutionary biologists because their plastids are of red algal secondary endosymbiotic origin and the host cell retains four different genomes (host nuclear, mitochondrial, plastid, and red algal nucleomorph).

Rhopalocnemis phalloides has one of the most reduced and mutated plastid genomes known [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Although most plant species are photosynthetic, several hundred species have lost the ability to photosynthesize and instead obtain nutrients via various types of heterotrophic feeding.

NOVOWrap: An automated solution for plastid genome assembly and structure standardization
Molecular Ecology Resources, 2020 Plastid genomes play an important role in genomics and evolutionary biology. Next‐generation sequencing has revolutionized plastid genomic data acquisition to the point that genome assembly has become a bottleneck for widespread utilization of plastid ...

Plastid genome evolution in mycoheterotrophic Ericaceae [PDF]
Plant Molecular Biology, 2012 Unlike parasitic plants, which are linked to their hosts directly through haustoria, mycoheterotrophic (MHT) plants derive all or part of their water and nutrients from autothrophs via fungal mycorrhizal intermediaries. Ericaceae, the heather family, are a large and diverse group of plants known to form elaborate symbiotic relationships with ...

tRNA functional signatures classify plastids as late-branching cyanobacteria. [PDF]
, 2019 BackgroundEukaryotes acquired the trait of oxygenic photosynthesis through endosymbiosis of the cyanobacterial progenitor of plastid organelles. Despite recent advances in the phylogenomics of Cyanobacteria, the phylogenetic root of plastids remains ...
