Underwater CAM photosynthesis elucidated by Isoetes genome [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2021 Despite extensive characterization of crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) in terrestrial angiosperms, little attention has been given to aquatics and early diverging land plants. Here, the authors assemble the genome of Isoetes taiwanensis and investigate

Insights into cryptic speciation of quillworts in China [PDF]
Plant Diversity, 2023 Cryptic species are commonly misidentified because of high morphological similarities to other species. One group of plants that may harbor large numbers of cryptic species is the quillworts (Isoëtes spp.), an ancient aquatic plant lineage. Although over

Phylogeny of Merlin’s grass (Isoetaceae): revealing an “Amborella syndrome” and the importance of geographic distribution for understanding current and historical diversity [PDF]
BMC Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Background Merlin’s grass (Isoetes, Isoetaceae, Lycopsida), is the extant remnant of the isoetalean wood-producing lycopsids that originated during the Paleozoic, possibly in aquatic or boggy habitats.

Organellar-genome analyses from the lycophyte genus Isoetes L. show one of the highest frequencies of RNA editing in land plants [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceRNA editing is a post-transcriptional process that challenges the central dogma of molecular biology by modifying RNA sequences, introducing nucleotide changes at specific sites, and generating functional diversity beyond the genomic code, especially ...
