The Cryptic Plastid of <italic toggle="yes">Euglena longa</italic> Defines a New Type of Nonphotosynthetic Plastid Organelle
ABSTRACT Most secondary nonphotosynthetic eukaryotes have retained residual plastids whose physiological role is often still unknown. One such example is Euglena longa, a close nonphotosynthetic relative of Euglena gracilis harboring a plastid organelle of enigmatic function. By mining transcriptome...
