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.2020.05.044
Abstract: Ortholog identification inferred by phylogenetic analyses does not always correlate with functional conservation. The recent functional characterization of the C1HDZ transcription factor in the early-diverging land plant Marchantia polymorpha reveals its role in biotic stress… read more here.

DOI: 10.2475/01.2019.01
Abstract: It has long been recognized that the advent of vascular plants in the Paleozoic must have changed silicate weathering and fundamentally altered the long-term carbon cycle. Carbon cycle models are frequently employed to quantify the… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpls.2022.941983
Abstract: Aims Leaf chlorophyll (Chl) is a fundamental component and good proxy for plant photosynthesis. However, we know little about the large-scale patterns of leaf Chl and the relative roles of current environment changes vs. plant… read more here.
