Extant eukaryotes are highly compartmentalized and have integrated endosymbionts as organelles. We combined quantitative proteomics, cross-species comparative analysis of metabolic pathways, and localizations by fluorescent proteins in the model plant Physcomitrella patens in order investigate the postendosymbiotic evolution of plastid and mitochondrial communication and signalling, and pinpoint intercellular and intracellular organellar heterogeneity.
