Summary The PIN-FORMED (PIN) proteins are secondary transporters acting in the efflux of
the plant signal molecule auxin from cells. They are asymmetrically localized within cells …

Algae are a component of bait sources for animal aquaculture, and they produce abundant
valuable compounds for the chemical industry and human health. With today's fast growing …

The early evolutionary history of the chloroplast lineage remains an open question. It is
widely accepted that the endosymbiosis that established the chloroplast lineage in …

Single-celled eukaryotes (protists) are critical players in global biogeochemical cycling of
nutrients and energy in the oceans. While their roles as primary producers and grazers are …

Marine eukaryotic photosynthesis is dominated by a diverse group of unicellular organisms
collectively called microalgae. Microalgae include cells derived from a primary …

Background The extended light-harvesting complex (LHC) protein superfamily is a
centerpiece of eukaryotic photosynthesis, comprising the LHC family and several families …

For decades, plant molecular biology has focused on only a few angiosperm species.
Recently, the∼ 500mega base pairs (Mb) of the haploid Physcomitrella patens genome …

Heliozoan protists have radiating cell projections (axopodia) supported by microtubular
axonemes nucleated by the centrosome and bearing granule-like extrusomes for catching …

Oxygenic photosynthesis, the chemical process whereby light energy powers the conversion
of carbon dioxide into organic compounds and oxygen is released as a waste product …

Phylogenetic analyses were performed on concatenated data sets of 31 genes and 11,789
unambiguously alignable characters from 37 cyanobacterial and 35 chloroplast genomes …
