Abstract
The biggest unsolved problems in chloroplast evolution are the origins of dinoflagellate and euglenoid chloroplasts,which have envelopes of three membranes not two like plants and chromists, and of the sporozoan plastid, bounded by four smooth membranes. I review evidence that all three of these protozoan plastid types originated by secondary symbiogenesis from eukaryotic symbionts. Instead of separate symbiogenetic events, I argue that...
