Where have all the algae gone, or, how many kingdoms are there?Where have all the algae gone, or, how many kingdoms are there?Focuses on the classification of algae into the five biological kingdoms. Teaching of evolution and diversity of organisms as part of the biology curricula; Discrepanc...
Over the past few years, the use of molecular techniques to detect cultivation-independent, eukaryotic diversity has proven to be a powerful approach. Based on small-subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) gene analyses, these studies have revealed the existenc

Plants often make the same organ in different development contexts. Roots are a quintessential example, with embryonic, primary, lateral, adventitious, and regenerative roots common to many plants. The cellular origins and early morphologies of different roots can vary greatly, but the adult structures...
For the past six years, a deadly secret has kept her in hiding, running from town to town, doing whatever it takes to stay one step ahead of the formidable Guildmaster—the sovereign ruler of the five kingdoms of Thamorr. No matter how far or fast she travels, his servants never fail...
When applied to all five known eukaryote* kingdoms of life on Earth, the approach predicted: ~7.77 million species of animals (of which 953,434 have been described and cataloged) ~298,000 species of plants (of which 215,644 have been described and cataloged) ...
