Green microalgae, and Chlorophyta in particular, are considered as a renewable source of
valuable chemicals for biofuel, nutraceutical or pharmaceutical industries, among others …

Diverse microbial ecosystems underpin life in the sea. Among these microbes are many
unicellular eukaryotes that span the diversity of the eukaryotic tree of life. However, genetic …

Green plants comprise two main clades: the Streptophyta, which include charophyte green
algae and the embryophytic land plants, and the Chlorophyta including a wide diversity of …

The Neoproterozoic Era records the transition from a largely bacterial to a predominantly
eukaryotic phototrophic world, creating the foundation for the complex benthic ecosystems …

Two autophagy-related (ATG) ubiquitin-like conjugation systems, the ATG12 and ATG8
systems, play important roles in macroautophagy. While multiple duplications and losses of …

The chloroplast genomes of many algae and almost all land plants carry two identical copies
of a large inverted repeat (IR) sequence that can pair for flip-flop recombination and undergo …

This volume covers the freshwater, aerophytic, and terrestrial green algae of the
Ulvophyceae, one of the main classes of green algae. Although most of this diversity is …

Lemieux et al. Chloroplast Genome Evolution in Streptophyte Algae lacks eight genes
relative to its Chaetosphaeridium globosum homolog, four of which represent unique events …

Comparative analyses of green algal plastid genomes (plastomes) have flourished in the
past decade. In addition to improving our understanding of the phylogenetic relationships …

The chlorophyte green algae (Chlorophyta) are species-rich ancient groups ubiquitous in
various habitats with high cytological diversity, ranging from microscopic to macroscopic …
