Primary Cell Wall Composition of Bryophytes and Charophytes [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Botany, 2003
Major differences in primary cell wall (PCW) components between non-vascular plant taxa are reported. (1) Xyloglucan: driselase digestion yielded isoprimeverose (the diagnostic repeat unit of xyloglucan) from PCW-rich material of Anthoceros (a hornwort), mosses and both leafy and thalloid liverworts, as well as numerous vascular plants, showing ...

Exceptional Chitin Preservation Driven by Early‐Stage Silicification in Mesozoic Freshwater Environments

open access: yesGeobiology, Volume 24, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
ABSTRACT Chitin is a fundamental structural biopolymer, yet its fossil record is predominantly biased towards marine Lagerstätten or specific stagnant non‐marine settings, leaving its stability in dynamic continental environments poorly understood.

A Curious Fossil Charophyte Fruit [PDF]

open access: yesGeological Magazine, 1920
THROUGH the kindness of Mr. Henry Woods, I have had the opportunity of examining three blocks of limestone belonging to the Sedgwick Museum at Cambridge, which were collected by the late E. B. Tawney, from the “Chara Bed”, Étage Oeningien, Upper Miocene, at Locle, Jura (Canton Neuchatel, Switzerland).

A plant‐centric view of class B flavin‐dependent monooxygenase evolution and diversity

open access: yesThe Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 5, September 2026.
SUMMARY Flavin‐dependent monooxygenases (FMOs) are ancient enzymes present throughout all kingdoms of life. FMOs utilize flavin‐based cofactors to incorporate an oxygen atom into their substrate, altering its chemical properties. Class B FMOs are enriched throughout the plant kingdom, catalyzing essential reactions for plant development and defense ...

The Phylogeny of Class B Flavoprotein Monooxygenases and the Origin of the YUCCA Protein Family

open access: yesPlants, 2020
YUCCA (YUCCA flavin-dependent monooxygenase) is one of the two enzymes of the main auxin biosynthesis pathway (tryptophan aminotransferase enzyme (TAA)/YUCCA) in land plants.

Structural and functional characterisation of a reconstructed ancestral strigolactone receptor

open access: yesThe Plant Journal, Volume 127, Issue 5, September 2026.
Significance Statement Ancestral sequence reconstruction of the strigolactone receptor DWARF14 (D14) reveals that its substrate specificity and signalling mechanism have remained largely conserved in seed plants. Ancestral D14 exhibits improved recombinant yields, thermostability and catalytic activity relative to D14 from Arabidopsis thaliana ...

Barley HvBODYGUARD1 controls cuticular specialisations regulated by SHINE transcription factors

open access: yesNew Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 3, Page 1188-1208, August 2026.
Cuticle defects result from defective HvBDG1 alleles. Summary Land plants secrete a protective outer cuticular layer with diverse functions. Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) develops two cuticular specialisations: the β‐diketone rich wax bloom on vegetative tissues and an adherent grain surface which sticks to the hulls, leading to barley's distinctive ...
