DOI: 10.1007/s10265-020-01171-6
Abstract: The Arabidopsis LSH1 and Oryza G1 (ALOG) protein is a family of plant-specific transcription factors that regulate reproductive growth in angiosperms. Despite their importance in plant development, little research has been conducted on ALOG proteins… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s11515-018-1518-y
Abstract: BackgroundPhototropism is the response a plant exhibits when it is faced with a directional blue light stimulus. Though a seemingly simple differential cell elongation response within a responding tissue that results in organ curvature, phototropism… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cell.2018.06.033
Abstract: Land plants evolved from charophytic algae, among which Charophyceae possess the most complex body plans. We present the genome of Chara braunii; comparison of the genome to those of land plants identified evolutionary novelties for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.csbj.2020.09.005
Abstract: Archaea are members of most microbiomes. While archaea are highly abundant in extreme environments, they are less abundant and diverse in association with eukaryotic hosts. Nevertheless, archaea are a substantial constituent of plant-associated ecosystems in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2018.01.034
Abstract: The key structures and functions of land plants are most often studied in flowering plant models. However, the evolution of these traits (character states) is often difficult to infer, because we lack an accurate phylogenetic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2019.12.044
Abstract: Chromatin profiling of a liverwort genome reveals an epigenomic landscape where the major mark of developmental silencing in later-branching land plants and in animals also targets subsets of transposons in this early-branching land plant lineage. read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.epsl.2017.02.046
Abstract: There has been extensive debate about the history of Earth's oxygenation and the role that land plant evolution played in shaping Earth's ocean–atmosphere system. Here we use the rare earth element patterns in marine carbonates… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.gene.2018.05.102
Abstract: Mitochondrial calcium uptake (MICU) plays a vital role in the regulation of mitochondrial calcium homeostasis, and, consequently, influences calcium signaling transduction. Although genes involved in mitochondrial calcium uptake have been well studied in animals, less… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/ncomms14713
Abstract: Lignin, one of the most abundant biopolymers on Earth, derives from the plant phenolic metabolism. It appeared upon terrestrialization and is thought critical for plant colonization of land. Early diverging land plants do not form… read more here.
