Abstract: In volvocine algae, gametogenesis is triggered by different cues depending on the species and their sexual systems. In isogamous unicellular organisms such as Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, which produce gametes of equal size and morphology, nitrogen depletion… read more here.

Abstract: Background The volvocine algae, which include the single-celled species Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and the colonial species Volvox carteri , serve as a model in which to study the evolution of multicellularity and cellular differentiation. Studies reconstructing… read more here.
