ORIGIN AND EVOLUTION OF THE CELL, THE - PROCEEDINGS OF THE CONFERENCE ON THE ORIGIN AND EVOLUTION OF PROKARYOTIC AND EUKARYOTIC CELLS

This volume examines the origin of eukaryotic cells both phylogenetically and morphogenetically. The evolutionary relationship between prokaryotic and eukaryotic organizations is emphasized. The difference of inferences from ribosomal RNA and protein phylogenetic trees suggests a new possibility of synthesizing an evolutionary origin of eukaryotic cells as integrating morphogenetic contributions.
