Abstract
Excerpt: Botany, cyanobacteria, endosymbiosis, horizontal inheritance, lateral gene transfer, oxygenic photosynthesis, phototrophy, phycology, plastid evolution Origin and evolution of plastids and photosynthesis in eukaryotes. Keywords: botany; cyanobacteria; endosymbiosis; horizontal inheritance; lateral gene transfer; oxygenic photosynthesis; phototrophy; phycology; plastid evolution EN botany cyanobacteria endosymbiosis horizontal inheritance lateral gene transfer oxygenic photosynthesis phototrophy phycology plastid evolution 363 365 3 03/31/22 20220301 NES 220301 Biology is replete with terminology that is sometimes excessive. Several dinoflagellate genera have more recently reacquired and integrated plastids of haptophyte (Karenia, Karlodinium), green algal (Lepidodinium) or diatom origin (Durinskia, Kryptoperidinium) by means of endosymbiosis or predation/kleptoplasty.
