A targeted capture approach to generating reference sequence databases for chloroplast gene regions
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Metabarcoding has improved the way we understand plants within our environment, from their ecology and conservation to invasive species management. The notion of identifying plant taxa within environmental samples relies on the ability to match unknown ...

Comparative analysis of the complete chloroplast genomes from six Neotropical species of Myrteae (Myrtaceae) [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2020 Myrteae is the largest and most diverse tribe within Myrtaceae and represents the majority of its diversity in the Neotropics. Members of Myrteae hold ecological importance in tropical biomes for the provision of food sources for many animal species ...

eLife, 2019 The phylum Apicomplexa comprises human pathogens such as Plasmodium but is also an under-explored hotspot of evolutionary diversity central to understanding the origins of parasitism and non-photosynthetic plastids.

Plant Plastid Engineering [PDF]
Current Genomics, 2010 Genetic material in plants is distributed into nucleus, plastids and mitochondria. Plastid has a central role of carrying out photosynthesis in plant cells. Plastid transformation is becoming more popular and an alternative to nuclear gene transformation because of various advantages like high protein levels, the feasibility of expressing multiple ...

Complex Plastids and the Evolution of the Marine Phytoplankton
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 Photosynthesis allows for the formation of biomass from inorganic carbon and therefore greatly enhances the amount of organic material on planet Earth.

Regulation of Expression and Evolution of Genes in Plastids of Rhodophytic Branch
Life, 2016 A novel algorithm and original software were used to cluster all proteins encoded in plastids of 72 species of the rhodophytic branch. The results are publicly available at http://lab6.iitp.ru/ppc/redline72/ in a database that allows fast identification ...

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018 Serine metabolism in plants has been studied mostly in relation to photorespiration where serine is formed from two molecules of glycine. However, two other pathways of serine formation operate in plants and represent the branches of glycolysis diverging

Nature Communications, 2019 Light initiates chloroplast biogenesis by activating photosynthesis-associated genes encoded by not only the nuclear but also the plastidial genome, but how photoreceptors control plastidial gene expression remains enigmatic.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019 Significance Kleptoplasty is the process by which a heterotrophic predator eats an algal prey cell and then steals and temporarily retains the alga’s photosynthetic plastid organelle. Kleptoplasty is relatively common in nature, but also represents a key

Principles of plastid reductive evolution illuminated by nonphotosynthetic chrysophytes
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019 Significance Photosynthesis has been gained many times in eukaryotic evolution via endosymbiosis. It has also been lost many times, including multiple occasions in the chrysophyte algae, a lineage of unicellular algae related to diatoms.
