Resumen
Plastids - the light-harvesting machines of plant and algal cells - evolved from cyanobacteria inside a eukaryotic host more than a billion years ago. New data reveal that a mysterious unicellular alga acquired its photosynthetic apparatus much more recently than other eukaryotes, affording a second look at the primary endosymbiotic origin of plastids.
