Chloroplast Genetic Engineering: Recent Advances and Future Perspectives (2005, background): “The endosymbiont lost its autonomy and most of its genome (Martin et al., 2002) giving rise to a group of cell organelles, collectively referred to as plastids.”
COMMON EVOLUTIONARY ORIGIN OF STARCH BIOSYNTHETIC ENZYMES IN GREEN AND RED ALGAE 1 (2005, background): “Many genes have been transferred from the endosymbiont to the nucleus: It is estimated that as many as 18% of the genes in Arabidopsis are of plastid origin (Martin et al. 2002).”
Integrative Annotation of 21,037 Human Genes Validated by Full-Length cDNA Clones (2004, neutral): “It is assumed some functions were presumably derived from ancient endocellular symbionts (mitochondria and chloroplasts) (Martin 2002).”
Mutational dynamics and phylogenetic utility of noncoding chloroplast DNA (2009, background): “Having lost more than 1,700 genes, due to their transfer to the nucleus during endosymbiosis (Martin et al. 2002), the genome size of contemporary land-plant plastid genomes ranges from 70 to 217 kb. Extreme genome size deviations occur in some lineages, particularly parasitic plants, that show…”
CO2 concentrating mechanisms in algae: mechanisms, environmental modulation, and evolution. (2005, background): “The membraneassociated components of the CCM would have been initially located on membranes derived from the plasmalemma or thylakoids of the plastid ancestor, although the subsequent transfer of genes to the host nucleus and retargeting of their products is a common feature of the evolution of phot”
A molecular timeline for the origin of photosynthetic eukaryotes. (2004, background): “Existing plastid genome trees using larger combined data sets of plastid proteins (41 [Martin et al. 2002], 39 [Maul et al. 2002], and 41 proteins [Ohta et al. 2003]) suggest polyphyly of the Chromista; however, these analyses all lack a representative of the haptophytes and sample poorly the red…”
The evolution of the plastid chromosome in land plants: gene content, gene order, gene function (2011, background): “This has resulted in a highly reduced plastid genome in Streptophytes (land plants plus their closest algal relatives), comprising less than 5–10% of the genes hypothesized for the ancestral cyanobacterial genome (ca. 2000 to 3000 genes; Martin et al. 2002).”
Horizontal gene transfer in eukaryotic evolution (2008, background): “The majority of organelle proteins are encoded by nuclear genes, so massive endosymbiotic gene transfer (EGT) has been inferred to have taken place in the evolution of both organelle”
GLK Transcription Factors Coordinate Expression of the Photosynthetic Apparatus in Arabidopsis[W][OA] (2009, background): “In land plants, the genetic contribution to photosynthesis is shared between the nuclear and plastid genomes (Martin et al., 2002).”
Dynamic Energy Budget Theory for Metabolic Organisation (2005, background): “Where the plastids of glaucophytes retained most of their genome and properties, those of rhodophytes and chlorophytes became progressively reduced by transfer of thousands of genes to the nucleus [749] and by gene loss.”
THE SYMBIOTIC BIRTH AND SPREAD OF PLASTIDS: HOW MANY TIMES AND WHODUNIT? (2003, background): “…signal directing the protein through the ER-derived membrane that forms the outermost shell of these complex plastids, and the second part a classic transit peptide ferrying the protein through the two inner membranes of primary symbiotic origin (McFadden, 1999, Kroth 2002, Cavalier-Smith 2003).”
Endosymbiotic gene transfer: organelle genomes forge eukaryotic chromosomes (2004, background): “The closest cousins of mitochondrial and chloroplast genomes are free-living α-proteobacteria and cyanobacteria respectively, but which lineages among those groups gave rise to present-day organelles remains unresolve”
