Plastid Genome Evolution

Beschreibung

Plastid Genome Evolution, Volume 85 provides a summary of recent research on plastid genome variation and evolution across photosynthetic organisms. It covers topics ranging from the causes and consequences of genomic changes, to the phylogenetic utility of plastomes for resolving relationships across the photosynthetic tree of life. This newly released volume presents thorough, up-to-date information on coevolution between the plastid and nuclear genomes, with chapters on plastid autonomy vs. nuclear control over plastid function, establishment and genetic integration of plastids, plastid genomes in alveolate protists, plastid genomes of glaucophytes, the evolution of the plastid genome in chlorophyte and streptophyte green algae, and more.

Autor

Dr. Shu-Miaw Chaw is a Distinguished Research Fellow and Director in the Biodiversity Research Center (BRC), Academia Sinica, Taiwan. She is also an adjunct Professor in Department of Life Science at National Taiwan Normal University. Dr. Chaw received her Ph.D. in Biology in 1985 at Tulane University, New Orleans. She did postdoctoral research at Institute of Plant and Microbial Biology (IPMB), Academia Sinica, was an Associate Research Fellow of IPMB in 1987-1993, and a Research Fellow in 1993-2005. She shifted to BRC in 2005 as a Research fellow and later a Distinguished Research Fellow in 2010 and served as the Director since the mid December of 2016. Dr. Chaw's primary research focus is on phylogenetic relationships of the extant seed plants and within the gymnosperm orders using comparative plastid genomics. Dr. Chaw serves on the editorial board of several journals, including Botanical Studies, Genome Biology and Evolution, International Journal of Plant Research, and Speci
