Plastid Genome of Dictyopteris divaricata (Dictyotales, Phaeophyceae): Understanding the Evolution of Plastid Genomes in Brown Algae

Marine Biotechnology, 2017
Dictyotophycidae is a subclass of brown algae containing 395 species that are distributed worldwide. A complete plastid (chloroplast) genome (ptDNA or cpDNA) had not previously been sequenced from this group. In this study, the complete plastid genome of Dictyopteris divaricata (Okamura) Okamura (Dictyotales, Phaeophyceae) was characterized and ...

Plastid Genome Diversity

2012
Most living plant cells contain plastids, which harbour their own DNA: the plastome. Plastomes are significantly less diverse than nuclear genomes, but this lower diversity has the advantage that comparisons can be made across all clades of green plants.

Structure and organization of rhodophyte and chromophyte plastid genomes: implications for the ancestry of plastids

Molecular and General Genetics MGG, 1992
Plastid genomes of two rhodophytes (Porphyra yezoensis and Griffithsia pacifica) and two chromophytes (Olisthodiscus luteus and Ochromonas danica) were compared with one another and with green plants in terms of overall structure, gene complement and organization.

The Cooperation of Nuclear and Plastid Genomes in Plastid Biogenesis and Differentiation

Biochemie und Physiologie der Pflanzen, 1982
Summary The interplay between gene expression programs of the plastome and the nuclear genome for plastid biogenesis and differentiation is reviewed on the basis of recent literature. In more detail are considered plastid DNA organization and expression (transcription, translation) as well as post- translational processing including transmembrane ...

From chloroplasts to “cryptic” plastids: evolution of plastid genomes in parasitic plants

Current Genetics, 2008
To date, more than 130 plastid genomes (plastomes) have been completely sequenced. Of those, 12 are strongly reduced plastid genomes from heterotrophic plants or plant-related species that exhibit a parasitic lifestyle. Half of these species are land plants while the other half consists of unicellular species that have evolved from photosynthetic algae.

The Origin and Evolution of Plastids and Their Genomes

1998
Plastids, the eukaryotic organelles responsible for photosynthesis and other biochemical tasks, are semiautonomous endosymbionts derived from previously free-living cyanobacteria (Gray, 1992; Douglas, 1994; Loiseaux-de Goer, 1994; Bhattacharya and Medlin, 1995).

Diversity and Evolution of Plastids and Their Genomes

2008
Plastids, the light-harvesting organelles of plants and algae, are the descendants of cyanobacterial endosymbionts that became permanent fixtures inside nonphotosynthetic eukaryotic host cells. This chapter provides an overview of the structural, functional and molecular diversity of plastids in the context of current views on the evolutionary ...

Plastid Genomes of Seed Plants

2012
The field of comparative plastid genomics has burgeoned during the past decade, largely due to the availability of rapid, less expensive genome sequencing technologies. Currently there are 200 plastid genomes (plastomes) publicly available with 65% of these from seed plants.

Organization and Expression of Plastid Genomes

1982
A green plant contains at least three types of organelles - nucleus, mitochondrion and plastid - which replicate, transcribe and express their genetic information in a coordinated way. The existence of DNA in plastids might have been inferred already from the genetic studies of Baur (1909) and Correns (1909), provided that the DNA-chromosome-gene ...
