...Sabine Heinhorst; Gordon C. Cannon ABSTRACT Chloroplasts contain multiple copies of a DNA molecule (the plastome) that encodes many of the gene products required to perform photosynthesis. The plastome is replicated by nuclear-encoded proteins and its copy number seems to be highly regulated...

...Geoffrey Ian Mcfadden ABSTRACT Unicellular algae of the division Cryptophyta possess an unusual subcellular compartment of unknown derivation. This compartment, which is partitioned off from the main cytoplasm by two membranes, contains a chloroplast and a small nucleus-like organelle surrounded...
