Tracing Aquatic Macrophyte Development in Nansi Lake, Northern China's Largest Freshwater Lake: Plant Macrofossils From 1855 to Present. [PDF]
This study presents a detailed plant macrofossil record of a floodplain lake in the lower Yellow River (Huanghe River) Basin, which has undergone significant channel modifications and catastrophic floods. The lake also serves as an impoundment along China's Eastern Route of the South‐to‐North Water Diversion Project. The results cover time periods from

Roots of Indian heliotrope (Heliotropium indicum) produce simple pyrrolizidine alkaloids using the same homospermidine oxidase involved in biosynthesis of complex pyrrolizidine alkaloids in aerial parts. [PDF]
Indian heliotrope uses the same oxidase to produce complex pyrrolizidine alkaloid esters in aerial parts and simple pyrrolizidine alkaloids in roots. Abstract Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) are toxic specialized metabolites found in several plant lineages with independent evolutionary origins.

A Comparative Analysis of Receptor-Like Kinases in Chlorophyta Reveals the Presence of Putative Cell Wall Integrity Sensors. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Receptor‐like kinases (RLKs) detect external and internal signals, triggering responses essential for growth and adaptation. Among internal cues, cell wall integrity (CWI) sensing plays a key role, as changes in cell wall structure activate responses critical for development and defense.

Occurrence of calreticulin during the exchange of nucleohistones into protamine-type proteins in Chara vulgaris spermiogenesis. [PDF]
During spermiogenesis of an alga Chara vulgaris, which resembles that of animals, nucleohistones are replaced by protamine-type proteins. This exchange takes place in a spermatid nucleus during the key V spermiogenesis stage, in which rough endoplasmic reticulum is the site of protamine-type protein synthesis and is also the pathway guiding the ...
