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 ...

The plastid genome of the red macroalga Grateloupia taiwanensis (Halymeniaceae). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The complete plastid genome sequence of the red macroalga Grateloupia taiwanensis S.-M.Lin & H.-Y.Liang (Halymeniaceae, Rhodophyta) is presented here. Comprising 191,270 bp, the circular DNA contains 233 protein-coding genes and 29 tRNA sequences.

tRNA functional signatures classify plastids as late-branching cyanobacteria. [PDF]
, 2019 BackgroundEukaryotes acquired the trait of oxygenic photosynthesis through endosymbiosis of the cyanobacterial progenitor of plastid organelles. Despite recent advances in the phylogenomics of Cyanobacteria, the phylogenetic root of plastids remains ...
