A non-photosynthetic green alga illuminates the reductive evolution of plastid electron transport systems

Abstract Background Plastid electron transport systems are essential not only for photosynthesis but also for dissipating excess reducing power and sinking excess electrons generated by various redox reactions. Although numerous organisms with plastids have lost their photoautotrophic lifestyles, th...
