1932 R. E. Torrey Gen. Bot. xv. 304 The algæ, in their turn, are divided upon a basis of color into three evolutionary series: the chlorophyte line, the phæophyte line, and the rhodophyte line.

1946 Amer. Midland Naturalist 36 262 This opinion is supported by the close resemblance between many stromatolites and the living structures built by known rhodophytes.

1991 Current Genetics 20 427 Chlorophyte (green algae and land plants) plastids have a cyanobacterial ancestor which probably differs from that of rhodophyte and chromophyte plastids.

2000 C. Tudge Variety of Life ii. iii. 136 Chloroplasts themselves differ among different groups of eukaryotes. Those of rhodophytes contain phycobiliproteins in addition to chlorophyll.
