Earlier hypotheses of the origin of flagella appear untenable in the light of recent evidence on the ancestry of eukaryotes. It is suggested that microtubules and flagella evolved early in eukaryote evolution to enhance phagotrophy .

They are anamorphs of EpichloΓ« typhina (Clavicipitaceae) that have become strictly seedborne, heritable components of symbiotic units ("symbiota"). In order to test the possibility that endophytes may contribute to the g
