Chloroplast Genome Traits Correlate With Organismal Complexity and Ecological Traits in Chlorophyta

A positive relationship between cell size and chloroplast genome size within chloroplast-bearing protists has been hypothesized in the past and shown in some case studies, but other factors influencing chloroplast genome size during the evolution of chlorophyte algae have been less studied. We study...
