title: Stable expression of a GFP-reporter gene in the red alga Cyanidioschyzon merolae.
abstract: The unicellular red alga Cyanidioschyzon merolae is used as a model organism to investigate the basic architecture of photosynthetic eukaryotes. We established a stable expression system for the green fluorescent protein fused with the phycocyanin-associated rod linker (APCC) protein in C. merolae, which was clearly localized on the plastid. This system should be useful in the genetic engineering of C. merolae.
