About the Book

In this book, an international panel of phycologists, protozoologists, mycologists, and other biologists review the current status of the chromophyte algae (those containing chlorophylls a and c). They discuss the ultrastructure, biochemistry, physiology, systematics, and phylogeny of this diverse group of ecologically and economically important organisms.

Table of Contents:
T. Christensen: The Chromophyta, past and present; S.W. Jeffrey: Chlorophyll c pigments and their distribution in the chromophyte algae; T. Bjørnland and S. Liaaen-Jensen: Distribution patterns of carotenoids in relation to chromophyte phylogeny and systematics; J.A. Raven, A.M. Johnston, and M. bin Surif: The photosynthetic apparatus as a phyletic character; R.A. Cattolico: Analysis of chloroplast evolution and phylogeny; K.V. Kowallik: Molecular aspects and phylogenetic implications of plastid genomes of certain chromophytes; J.M. Whatley: Chromophyte chloroplasts - a polyphylectic origin?; B.S.C. Leadbeater: The phylogenetic significance of flagellar hairs in the Chromophyta; H.R. Preisig: The flagellar base ultrastructure and phylogency of chromophytes; J.C. Green: Relationships between the chromophyte algae: the evidence from studies of mitosis; J.D. Dodge: Phylogenetic relationships of dinoflagellates and their plastids; M.N. Clayton: Brown algae and chromophyte phylogeny; C.J. O'Kelly: The evolutionary origin of the brown algae: information from studies of motile cell structure; P. Heywood: Some affinities of the Raphidophyceae with other chromophyte algae; R.M. Crawford and F.E. Round: Corethron and Mallomonas - some striking morphological similarities; C.G. Mann and H.J. Marchant: The origins of the diatom and its life cycle; G.W. Beakes: Oomycete fungi: their phylogeny and relationship to chromophyte algae; D.J.S. Barr and N.L. Desaulniers: The flagellar apparatus of the Oomycetes and Hyphochytriomycetes; D.J. Patterson: Stramenopiles: chromophytes from a protistan perspective; T. Cavalier-Smith: The Kingdom Chromista; F.E. Round: The chromophyte algae - problems and perspectives. A summarizing view. Index.

Review :
'It is a companion piece to the book on green algae published in 1984 and is of the same high quality. The book contains a wealth of information ... The editors ... deserve plenty of credit for their efforts.' Ø. Moestrup, European Journal of Protistology, Vol.26, October 1990 'This volume will be met with much anticipation by protistologists, phycologists, and evolutionary biologists alike because it provides new insights on the interrelationsahips fo the chromophytic assemblage ... Without question this volume on the cromophytic algae successfully up-to-date accounts and by its catholic approach will contribute significantly to our understanding of the relationships of these organisms.' TAXON 39 (Nov 1990) 'the appearance of the present volume is particularly timely ... Not only phycologists but also all those interested in evolution will find the book a real delight. Its 429 pages are crammed with information synthesized in a most readable manner and illustrated with a wealth of high quality micrographs and first class and mostly original line drawings and diagrams ... the editors and contributors cannot be praised too highly for putting together such a stimulating volume.' J.G. Duckett, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society (1993)
