Definition of Nucleomorph. Meaning of Nucleomorph. Synonyms of Nucleomorph

- Nucleomorphs are small, vestigial eukaryotic nuclei found between the inner and outer pairs of membranes in certain plastids. They are thought to be vestiges...
- Chlorarachniophytes, which belong to the phylum Cercozoa, contain a small nucleomorph, which is a relict of the algae's nucleus. Euglenids, which belong to...
- The chloroplast is surrounded by two membranes and has no nucleomorph—all the nucleomorph genes have been transferred to the dinophyte nucleus. The endosymbiotic...
- Their chloroplast is bounded by three layers of membrane without a nucleomorph. Normally, it is 40–65 μm long, slightly bigger than other well-known...
- periplasm. Guillardia is the only cryptomonad to have its entire nucleus, nucleomorph, and plastid genome sequenced. This knowledge has prompted further studies...
- surrounded by three membranes, and in the remaining lines by four. A nucleomorph, remnants of the original algal nucleus located between the inner and...
- closely related to genes encoded by the Guillardia theta (cryptomonad) nucleomorph genome. Four of these genes are also found in red algal plastid genomes...
- retained. When this retains a nucleus and a nuclear genome it is termed a nucleomorph. The unicellular eukaryote Paulinella chromatophora possesses an organelle...
