Origins and early evolution of photosynthetic eukaryotes
@inproceedings{Toledo2018OriginsAE, title={Origins and early evolution of photosynthetic eukaryotes}, author={Rafael Toledo}, year={2018} }
Primary plastids derive from a cyanobacterium that entered into an endosymbioticrelationship with a eukaryotic host. This event gave rise to the supergroup Archaeplastida whichcomprises Viridiplantae (green algae and land plants), Rhodophyta (red algae) and Glaucophyta. Afterprimary endosymbiosis, red and green algae spread the ability to photosynthesize to other eukaryoticlineages via secondary endosymbioses. Although considerable progress has been made in theunderstanding of the evolution of…

The origin, antiquity, and affinity of benthic seaweeds (multicellular algae) in the geological past are shrouded in mystery due to their preservation bias. In this study, we present a new material…

The geological timescale before 720 Ma uses rounded absolute ages rather than specific events recorded in rocks to subdivide time. This has led increasingly to mismatches between subdivisions and the…

A taxonomically diverse group of chlorophyll c2-containing protists comprising cryptophyte, haptophyte and stramenopiles algae (Chromista) share a common plastid that most likely arose from a single, ancient secondary endosymbiosis involving a red alga, consistent with Chromista monophyly and implicates secondary endOSymbiotic as an important force in generating eukaryotic biodiversity.

The nuclear genomes of the cryptophyte Guillardia theta and the chlorarachniophyte Bigelowiella natans are sequenced and extensive genetic and biochemical mosaicism is revealed, with both host- and endosymbiont-derived genes servicing the mitochondrion, the host cell cytosol, the plastid and the remnant endosYmbionT cytOSol of both algae.

A phylogenomic analysis of a large data set of 124 proteins transferred from the chloroplast to the nuclear genome of the three Archaeplastida lineages found strong support for the basal emergence of the Chloroplastida and the sister-group relationship of Glaucophyta and Rhodophyta.
