Abstract
Neochloris terrestris possesses ultrastructural features distinct from those of other species of Neochloris sensu stricto belonging to the Neochloridaceae. However, it was not classified properly due to the absence of phylogenetic information. We used an analysis of 18S rDNA sequence data as well as newly obtained ultrastructural data to support placement of this taxon in Chlororustica gen. nov. as C. terrestris comb. nov. in the Radiococcaceae.
期刊介绍:
Phycological Research is published by the Japanese Society of Phycology and complements the Japanese Journal of Phycology. The Journal publishes international, basic or applied, peer-reviewed research dealing with all aspects of phycology including ecology, taxonomy and phylogeny, evolution, genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, cell biology, morphology, physiology, new techniques to facilitate the international exchange of results. All articles are peer-reviewed by at least two researchers expert in the filed of the submitted paper. Phycological Research has been credited by the International Association for Plant Taxonomy for the purpose of registration of new non-vascular plant names (including fossils).
