Genome evolution of a tertiary dinoflagellate plastid.
PLoS ONE, 2011 The dinoflagellates have repeatedly replaced their ancestral peridinin-plastid by plastids derived from a variety of algal lineages ranging from green algae to diatoms. Here, we have characterized the genome of a dinoflagellate plastid of tertiary origin

Genomic Insights into Plastid Evolution [PDF]
Genome Biology and Evolution, 2020 Abstract The origin of plastids (chloroplasts) by endosymbiosis stands as one of the most important events in the history of eukaryotic life. The genetic, biochemical, and cell biological integration of a cyanobacterial endosymbiont into a heterotrophic host eukaryote approximately a billion years ago paved the way for the evolution of ...

Plastid Genome Assembly Using Long-read data. [PDF]
Mol Ecol Resour, 2023 AbstractAlthough plastid genome (plastome) structure is highly conserved across most seed plants, investigations during the past two decades have revealed several disparately related lineages that experienced substantial rearrangements. Most plastomes contain a large inverted repeat and two single‐copy regions, and a few dispersed repeats; however, the

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).

Comparative plastid genomics of four Pilea (Urticaceae) species: insight into interspecific plastid genome diversity in Pilea [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2020 Abstract Background Pilea is a genus of perennial herbs from the family Urticaceae, and some species are used as courtyard ornamentals or for medicinal purposes.

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 ...

Strategies for complete plastid genome sequencing [PDF]
Molecular Ecology Resources, 2016 AbstractPlastid sequencing is an essential tool in the study of plant evolution. This high‐copy organelle is one of the most technically accessible regions of the genome, and its sequence conservation makes it a valuable region for comparative genome evolution, phylogenetic analysis and population studies.

A hairpin plastid genome in barley [PDF]
The EMBO Journal, 1986 A linear plastid genome of a barley albino plant derived from anther culture has been characterized. The monomeric genome is 21 kb long. This molecule has a hairpin structure. We discuss the possible origins of this genome.

The Plastid Genome of Deschampsia cespitosa (Poaceae) [PDF]
Molecules, 2019 Plastid genome analysis of non-model organisms provides valuable information for basic research e.g., molecular evolutionary genomics, phylogeny and phylogeography. Deschampsia cespitosa is the most widespread species of the genus and it is a common grass that is found across Eurasia and North America.
