What is Dinotoms: Unique Plastid Dynamics about?
The study reveals the unique nuclear dynamics of two closely related dinoflagellates, Durinskia capensis and D. kwazulunatalensis, in their interaction with diatom plastids. While D. capensis retains diatoms temporarily, D. kwazulunatalensis maintains diatoms permanently through a unique mechanism that alters the morphology of diatom nuclei during cell division. This research highlights the evolutionary significance of these processes in the transition from kleptoplastids to permanent plastids in dinoflagel
