The Plastid Genome of the Cryptomonad Teleaulax amphioxeia.
PLoS ONE, 2015 Teleaulax amphioxeia is a photosynthetic unicellular cryptophyte alga that is distributed throughout marine habitats worldwide. This alga is an important plastid donor to the dinoflagellate Dinophysis caudata through the ciliate Mesodinium rubrum in the ...

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 ...

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.

The Complete Plastid Genome Sequence of the Haptophyte Emiliania huxleyi: a Comparison to Other Plastid Genomes [PDF]
DNA Research, 2005 The complete nucleotide sequence of the plastid genome of the haptophyte Emiliania huxleyi has been determined. E. huxleyi is the most abundant coccolithophorid and has a key role in the carbon cycle. It is also implicated in the production of dimethylsulphide (DMS), which is involved in cloud nucleation and may affect the global climate.

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).

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Most plastid genome sequences are assembled from short-read whole-genome sequencing data, yet the impact that sequencing coverage and the choice of assembly software can have on the accuracy of the resulting assemblies is poorly understood. In this study,

BMC Plant Biology, 2022 Background The Peucedanum genus is the backbone member of Apiaceae, with many economically and medically important plants. Although the previous studies on Peucedanum provide us with a good research basis, there are still unclear phylogenetic ...

Plastids, Genomes, and the Probability of Gene Transfer [PDF]
Genome Biology and Evolution, 2011 In a snowball fight, the amount of snow that sticks to your coat depends on the number and size of snowballs that hit you and the stickiness of your coat. Much the same goes for the bombardment of nuclear genomes by organellar genes, according to genome sequence data published in GBE this week (Smith et al. 2011).
