Plastids are core components of photosynthesis in plants and algae. Scientists are currently debating the events leading to the appearance of plastids in eukaryotic cells. Where did plastids ...

Most notably, we saw that the endosymbionts expressing translocases from the plastids of red algae and glaucophytes were able ...

Perhaps most interestingly, the tenet that all plastids stem from a single eukaryotic-cyanobacterial endosymbiosis has even been called into question by recent data showing that the freshwater ...

Plastids, which possess genomes that are distinct from the primary, nuclear genomes of cells, are thought to have arisen from so-called endosymbiosis, in which a cyanobacterium is captured by ...

"Most notably, we saw that the endosymbionts expressing translocases from the plastids of red algae and glaucophytes were able to export ATP to support endosymbiosis, whereas those from ...

Now primary endosymbiosis is when a complex cell called ... Because if the apicomplexans had simply lost their plastids, we might never have guessed that they started out as harmless marine ...

We are pleased to announce that all abstracts from the 14th edition are now available online in The Journal of Mitochondria, Plastids, and Endosymbiosis (JMPE). [Germany, November 28, 2023 ...

Languages: English. Researchers have taken an important step in understanding the origins of complex life by recreating the beginnings of endosymbiosis—a phenomenon in which one organism lives ...

Cells can acquire plastids by engulfing and taming their own bacteria. Alternatively, they can steal someone else’s. The ancestor of the dinoflagellates—the group of algae that warnowiids ...
