WIREs RNA, 2010
AbstractMolecular biologists have traditionally focused on the very small corner of eukaryotic evolution that includes yeast and animals; even plants have been neglected. In this article, we describe the scant information that is available concerning RNA processing in the other four major eukaryotic groups, especially pathogenic protists.

Graviorientation in Protists and Plants
Journal of Plant Physiology, 1999Gravitaxis, gravikinesis, and gravitropism are different graviresponses found in protists and plants. The phenomena have been intensively studied under variable stimulations ranging from microgravity to hypergravity. A huge amount of information is now available, e.g.

The protist cultural renaissance
Trends in MicrobiologyProtists are key players in the biosphere. Here, we provide a perspective on integrating protist culturing with omics approaches, imaging, and high-throughput single-cell manipulation strategies, concluding with actions required for a successful return of the golden age of protist culturing.

Flagellar Kinesins in Protists
Future Microbiology, 2011Cilia and flagella are organelles of the cell body present in many eukaryotic cells. Although their basic structure is well conserved from unicellular organisms to mammals, they show amazing diversity in number, structure, molecular composition, disposition and function.

The origins of parasitism in the protists
International Journal for Parasitology, 1994The origins of parasitism among the protists are, like the group itself, polyphyletic. Probably the majority of present-day parasitic forms evolved from free-living ancestors which were ingested as part of the food of their hosts, though origins from ectoparasitic forms and via a phase of facultative parasitism are possibilities, particularly among the

Extrusive Organelles in Protists
1978Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the extrusive organelles in protists. Extrusive organelles are membrane-bounded structures of protists, usually located in the cortical cytoplasm of these cells. Although they have different type-specific structures and functions, they all exhibit one general characteristic: they are readily discharged when ...

Biophysics of protist behaviour
Current BiologyProtists, an umbrella term first coined by Ernst Haeckel in 1866, are a vast collection of (primarily unicellular) eukaryotes that are "neither animals nor plants". This basic definition by exclusion has been exercised for centuries, even though recent advances have led to more rigorous taxonomic assignment of various protist groups.

The enigmatic protist Nephromyces
Biosystems, 1981This paper review current knowledge concerning the identity of Nephromyces, a collection of fungus-like cells found in the renal sac of all molgulid tunicates thus far examined. The following has been demonstrated: (1) The cells called Nephromyces do exist, and are not produced by their tunicate hosts, but are something foreign to these animals.
