The evolution of the plastid genomes in the holoparasitic Balanophoraceae

Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
The independent transition to a heterotrophic lifestyle in plants drove remarkably convergent evolutionary trajectories, characterized by morphological modifications and reductions in their plastomes. The characteristics of the minimum plastome required for survival, if they exist, remain a topic of debate. The holoparasitic family

Comprehensive revision of Mallomonas sect. Peroneides stat. nov. (Chrysophyceae) integrating morphology and multigene phylogeny

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Mallomonas is among the most diverse genera of Chrysophyceae, yet many of its lineages remain taxonomically unresolved due to limited molecular sampling. Mallomonas series Peronoides, historically limited to four species, has posed persistent taxonomic difficulties, most notably the long‐standing and problematic reliance on a rare ...

Crawling under the radar: Two novel Paulinella species expand knowledge about the ecology and evolution of a primary plastid‐containing amoeba lineage

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract The genus Paulinella represents a rare, independent case of primary endosymbiosis, providing a unique system to study the early stages of organelle evolution. Here, we expand current understanding of primary plastid endosymbiosis through the discovery and characterization of two novel photosynthetic amoebae, Paulinella marae sp. nov.

Genome‐scale insights into metabolic streamlining and photosynthetic energy balance in the extremophile green alga Picocystis salinarum (Picocystophyceae, Chlorophyta)

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Picocystis salinarum is an early‐diverging chlorophyte and the sole described member of the Picocystophyceae, frequently dominating hypersaline and alkaline lakes despite extreme physicochemical constraints. To elucidate the genomic foundations of its ecological success, we generated a fully annotated, chromosome‐scale nuclear genome assembly ...

Mitochondrial Genome of Fagopyrum esculentum and the Genetic Diversity of Extranuclear Genomes in Buckwheat

Plants, 2020
Fagopyrum esculentum (common buckwheat) is an important agricultural non-cereal grain plant. Despite extensive genetic studies, the information on its mitochondrial genome is still lacking.

Lithochloron, a new genus of green algae residing in coral skeleton (Cladophorales, Chlorophyta)

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Coral skeletons host diverse microbial communities, including endolithic green algae that contribute to holobiont functioning. The siphonous green alga Ostreobium (Bryopsidales) is arguably the best‐known coral endolith, but recent environmental sequencing has indicated that other lineages of green algae may also inhabit the coral skeleton ...

Sequencing and Analysis of the Complete Organellar Genomes of Prototheca wickerhamii

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Of the Prototheca genus, Protothecawickerhamii has the highest clinical significance in humans. However, neither nuclear nor organellar genomes of this species were sequenced until now.

Genetic, phenotypic, and ecological differentiation indicate a new cryptic and threatened species in the orchid genus Epidendrum from Alcatrazes Island, southeastern Brazil

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.
Epidendrum insularis occurs on the remote Alcatrazes Island in the southeastern Brazilian coast. The description of this new cryptic species was only possible by the joint use of molecular markers, reproductive experiments, flower morphometry, functional traits, and community analysis.
