Chloroplast and Mitochondrial Dna in a Brown Alga Egregia Menziesii
نویسندگان
چکیده
Chloroplasts and mitochondria of the brown alga Egregia menziesii were studied with the electron microscope. In both organelles, 15-25-A fibrils with DNA characteristics are found within areas of electron transparency. In each chloroplast there are two DNA-containing areas, one at each tip of the chloroplast. This localization, the shape and size of each DNA-containing area, and its close association with lamellae in a nondividing chloroplast are noted. One or occasionally two DNA-containing areas are found within the mitochondrion and they are compared with a similar structure in the chloroplast.

Restricted host use by the herbivorous amphipod Peramphithoe tea is motivated by food quality and abiotic refuge
There is a growing list of marine invertebrate herbivores known to restrict their host choices to a subset of available species, yet the relative importance of the evolutionary forces that select for specialized feeding habits remain unclear. One such specialist is the gammaridean amphipod Peramphithoe tea (F. Ampithoidae) that restricts its distribution to the brown laminarian seaweed Egregia ...
متن کاملIdentity and genetic structure of the photobiont of the epiphytic lichen Ramalina menziesii on three oak species in southern California.
Lichens, a classic example of an obligate symbiosis between fungi and photobionts (which could be algae or cyanobacteria), are abundant in many terrestrial ecosystems. The genetic structure of the photobiont population found in association with a lichen-forming fungal species could be affected by fungal reproductive mode and by the spatial extent of gene flow in the photobiont. Using DNA sequen...
متن کاملPhylogeography of Douglas-fir based on mitochondrial and chloroplast DNA sequences: testing hypotheses from the fossil record.
The integration of fossil and molecular data can provide a synthetic understanding of the ecological and evolutionary history of an organism. We analysed range-wide maternally inherited mitochondrial DNA and paternally inherited chloroplast DNA sequence data with coalescent simulations and traditional population genetic methods to test hypotheses of population divergence generated from the foss...
متن کاملChloroplast transit peptides from the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii share features with both mitochondrial and higher plant chloroplast presequences.
Chloroplast transit peptides from the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii have been analyzed and compared with chloroplast transit peptides from higher plants and mitochondrial targeting peptides from yeast, Neurospora and higher eukaryotes. In terms of length and amino acid composition, chloroplast transit peptides from C. reinhardtii are more similar to mitochondrial targetting peptides than...
متن کاملAsymmetrical Gene Flow in a Hybrid Zone of Hawaiian Schiedea (Caryophyllaceae) Species with Contrasting Mating Systems
Asymmetrical gene flow, which has frequently been documented in naturally occurring hybrid zones, can result from various genetic and demographic factors. Understanding these factors is important for determining the ecological conditions that permitted hybridization and the evolutionary potential inherent in hybrids. Here, we characterized morphological, nuclear, and chloroplast variation in a ...
