Bhattacharya, D. (ed.)
Origins of Algae and their Plastids. 1997. (Plant Systematics and Evolution,Suppl.11). 55 figs. X, 287 p. 4to. Paper bd.
Recent molecular sequence analyses show that the algae are of polyphyletic origins and that their evolution is best explained by tracing the endosymbiotic events that have resulted in the origins of their plastids. This volume provides an account of the majo rfindings in algal, cyanobacterial and plastid phylogeny. All major algal groups ( e.g. green, red, heterokont, dinoflagellate algae) are treated in separate chapters by leadings experts on these groups.
