Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.Abstract For the freshwater red algal order Batrachospermales, the number of plastid genomes available is relatively small compared to the number of genera. Fully assembled plastid genomes can provide insights into plastid evolution and crucial data for phylogenetic reconstruction.

Bioluminescence of the heterotrophic dinoflagellate Polykrikos kofoidii Chatton 1914 (Dinophyceae)
Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.Abstract Heterotrophic dinoflagellates are important predators of phytoplankton, and many species produce bioluminescence, which is thought to serve as an antipredator function. The present study investigated the bioluminescence of the heterotrophic dinoflagellate Polykrikos kofoidii, an important predator of toxic and bloom‐forming dinoflagellates ...

Increased prey choice is associated with higher kleptoplastidic reliance in Mesodinium ciliates
Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.Abstract Kleptoplastidic organisms display varying levels of reliance on stolen plastids, with some lineages evolving complex strategies for plastid (and other organelle) integration into metabolism. More complex methods of plastid integration typically coincide with greater prey specialization, but it remains unclear whether or how kleptoplastidic ...

Journal of Systematics and Evolution, EarlyView.We present the most densely sampled phylogeny of Carex section Lupulinae to date (107 specimens) and describe herein a new cryptic species for science from the southern United States, which is locally abundant and found in well‐explored and densely populated areas. Combining DNA sequences with morphometric data obtained from 299 samples, we Demonstrate

New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Studying cell‐to‐cell heterogeneity is essential to understand how unicellular organisms respond to stresses. We introduce a single‐cell analysis framework that enables the study of intercellular heterogeneity of photosynthetic traits, particularly their interactions within individual cells that have identical genotypes, cellular contexts and ...

Fascinating single‐cell red algae: models for evolution and adaptation
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary The unicellular red algae, Cyanidiophyceae, that diverged early during Archaeplastida (algal and plant) evolution, occupy a variety of extreme habitats that are inhospitable for most other eukaryotes. With the use of modern genomics and genetics methods, Cyanidiophyceae show a remarkable taxonomic diversity, share haplodiplophasic life cycles ...

Novel roles of sulfur metabolism in stress‐controlled stomata aperture regulation
New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary Stomatal closure allows plants to conserve water by reducing transpiration during drought. Surprisingly, the assimilation of the macronutrient sulfur is intimately connected to the drought stress response. This Tansley insight will only briefly touch on the general impact of sulfate assimilation on the production of drought‐response metabolites.

New Phytologist, EarlyView.Summary The evolutionary origin of red algae‐derived complex plastids remains obscure. Cryptophyta, one of four eukaryotic lineages harboring these plastids, still contains nucleomorphs, which are highly reduced remnants of red algal nuclei. The genes present on nucleomorph genomes can be used for phylogenomic reconstruction in order to unravel the ...
