Rethinking plastid evolution [PDF]
EMBO reports, 2010 How easy is it to acquire an organelle? How easy is it to lose one? These questions underpin the current debate about the evolution of the plastid—that is, chloroplast—the organelle of photosynthesis in eukaryotic cells. The origin of the plastid has been traced to an endosymbiosis between a eukaryotic host cell and a cyanobacterial symbiont, the ...

Ecology and Evolution, 2020 Native grasslands are one of the most endangered ecosystems in North America. In this study, we examined the ecological and evolutionary roles of endangered and threatened (e/t) grasses by establishing robust evolutionary relationships with other ...

Horizontal and endosymbiotic gene transfer in early plastid evolution.
New Phytologist, 2019 Plastids evolved from a cyanobacterium that was engulfed by a heterotrophic eukaryotic host and became a stable organelle. Some of the resulting eukaryotic algae entered into a number of secondary endosymbioses with diverse eukaryotic hosts. These events

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Plants exhibit different physiological and molecular responses to adverse changes in their environment. One such molecular response is the sequestration of proteins, RNAs, and metabolites into cytoplasmic bodies called stress granules (cSGs).

Analyses of 202 plastid genomes elucidate the phylogeny of Solanum section Petota
Scientific Reports, 2019 Our paper analyzes full plastid DNA sequence data of 202 wild and cultivated diploid potatoes, Solanum section Petota, to explore its phylogenetic utility compared to prior analyses of the same accessions using genome-wide nuclear SNPs, and plastid DNA ...

Complete Chloroplast Genome Sequence of Rosa lucieae and Its Characteristics
Horticulturae, 2022 Rosa lucieae is one of the famous wild ancestors of cultivated roses and plays a very important role in horticultural research, but there is still a lack of research on the R. lucieae chloroplast genome. In this study, we used the Illumina MiSeq platform

Organellar Evolution: A Path from Benefit to Dependence
Microorganisms, 2022 Eukaryotic organelles supposedly evolved from their bacterial ancestors because of their benefits to host cells. However, organelles are quite often retained, even when the beneficial metabolic pathway is lost, due to something other than the original ...
