Evolution of Gene Duplication in Plants1[OPEN] (2016, background): “Predominance of Duplicate Genes in Plant Genomes In the green lineage, gene numbers range from 8,166 in the unicellular green alga Ostreococcus tauri (Derelle et al., 2006) to approximately 95,000 in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum; Brenchley et al., 2012).”
Genome Annotation in Plants and Fungi: EuGene as a Model Platform (2008, background): “In addition to these three organisms, EuGène has been or is currently being trained and applied to large-scale annotation of a number of organisms, including Populus trichocarpa (poplar) [44], Solanum lycopersicum (tomato), Physcomitrella (moss), Ostreococcus tauri (a green alga) [45], O.”
Unveiling the mysteries of phytoplankton life cycles: patterns and opportunities behind complexity (2011, background): “Yet whole genome sequencing has revealed a set of genes specific to meiosis conserved between plants, animals and fungi, suggestive of a yet unobserved sexual phase (Derelle et al., 2006; Worden et al., 2009).”
Current understanding of Phaeocystis ecology and biogeochemistry, and perspectives for future research (2007, background): “For example, organellespeciWc or complete genomes of several phytoplanktons have been sequenced (Prochlorococcus: Dufresne et al. 2003; Emiliania: Puerta et al. 2004; Ostreococcus: Derelle et al. 2006) and this information has identiWed metabolic pathways previously unsuspected, e.g., a complete ure”

Transcription and transcriptional regulation in plastids (2007, background): “Also another alga, Osteococcus tauri, possesses only one RpoT gene, which likely encodes the mitochondrial RNA polymerase (W. Hess, T. Börner, H. Moreau, unpublished; Derelle et al. 2006).”
Horizontal gene transfer in eukaryotic evolution (2008, background): “HGT seems not to be a prevalent feature of the genome as a whole, but chromosome 19 differs from the rest of the genome with respect to GC ratio, gene density and the proportion of mobile element”
