Rutgers Research News Story on Goal to Protect and Regenerate Corals Through Genomics with $500K NSF Grant and Award-Winning Video
Testing the Chassis and Engine Hypothesis for Plastid Origin
The Animation highlights major results of a publication in New Phytologist – Evidence for a robust photosystem II in the photosynthetic amoeba Paulinella.
Check out the two new animations we have created about primary endosymbiosis
If you want to learn about primary plastid endosymbiosis and how it happened in algae, plants, and the amoeba Paulinella, check out these two animated videos made by our group in support of a Tansley Insight appearing soon in New Phytologist. Enjoy.
