The aquatic Lemnaceae family, commonly called duckweed, comprises some of the smallest
and fastest growing angiosperms known on Earth. Their tiny size, rapid growth by clonal …

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

Eukaryotic organelle genomes are generally of conserved size and gene content within
phylogenetic groups. However, significant variation in genome structure may occur. Here …

Virtually all plastid (chloroplast) genomes are circular double-stranded DNA molecules,
typically between 100 and 200 kb in size and encoding circa 80–250 genes. Exceptions to …

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

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 …

Abstract Background The order Oedogoniales within the single family Oedogoniaceae
comprised of three genera, Oedogonium, Oedocladium, and Bulbochaete based on …

The genus Tetradesmus (Scenedesmaceae; Sphaeropleales) comprises one of the most
abundant green algae in freshwater environments. It includes morphologically diverse …

The genomes of peridinin-containing dinoflagellate chloroplasts have a very unusual
organisation. These genomes are highly fragmented and greatly reduced, with most of the …

PREMISE OF THE STUDY: Although some species of Characeae, known as stoneworts, can
be found on every continent except Antarctica, many species and some genera have limited …
