A molecular timescale for eukaryote evolution with implications for the origin of red algal-derived plastids

Nature Communications, 2021
In modern oceans, eukaryotic phytoplankton is dominated by lineages with red algal-derived plastids such as diatoms, dinoflagellates, and coccolithophores. Despite the ecological importance of these groups and many others representing a huge diversity of

An Expanded Ribosomal Phylogeny of Cyanobacteria Supports a Deep Placement of Plastids

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
The phylum Cyanobacteria includes free-living bacteria and plastids, the descendants of cyanobacteria that were engulfed by the ancestral lineage of the major photosynthetic eukaryotic group Archaeplastida. Endosymbiotic events that followed this primary

Integration of plastids with their hosts: Lessons learned from dinoflagellates. [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2015
After their endosymbiotic acquisition, plastids become intimately connected with the biology of their host. For example, genes essential for plastid function may be relocated from the genomes of plastids to the host nucleus, and pathways may evolve ...

The Translational Apparatus of Plastids and Its Role in Plant Development

Molecular Plant, 2014
SUMMARY Systematic reverse genetic approaches in the nuclear and chloroplast genomes have greatly increased our knowledge about the structure, function, and biogenesis of chloroplast ribosomes, and about the molecular mechanisms of plastid protein ...

Global metagenomics reveals plastid diversity and unexplored algal lineages [PDF]

Nature Communications
Photosynthetic organelles in eukaryotes originated through primary endosymbiosis with a cyanobacterium, an event that profoundly shaped the evolutionary landscape of the eukaryotic tree of life.

Overexpression of PSY1 increases fruit skin and flesh carotenoid content and reveals associated transcription factors in apple (Malus × domestica)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Knowledge of the transcriptional regulation of the carotenoid metabolic pathway is still emerging and here, we have misexpressed a key biosynthetic gene in apple to highlight potential transcriptional regulators of this pathway. We overexpressed phytoene
