Chloroplast acquisition without the gene transfer in kleptoplastic sea slugs, Plakobranchus ocellatus
Some sea slugs sequester chloroplasts from algal food in their intestinal cells and photosynthesize for months. This phenomenon, kleptoplasty, poses a question of how the chloroplast retains its activity without the algal nucleus. There have been debates on the horizontal transfer of algal genes to...
