Plants+HC+SAR megagroup
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Plants+HC+SAR megagroup is a group of eukaryotes.[1]
It includes:
- Plants
- Hacrobia (the "HC" refers to Cryptophyta and Haptophyta, the two major members of this group)
- SAR supergroup
It has also been described as the sum of Archaeplastida, Rhizaria, and chromalveolates.[2] However, this simply refers to a different way of grouping the same organisms, largely due to the discovery that chromalveolata was not monophyletic.
It includes most of the species engaging in photosynthesis, except for the Euglenozoa.
