Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 The hornworts are a small group of land plants, consisting of only 11 families and approximately 220 species. Despite their small size as a group, their phylogenetic position and unique biology are of great importance. Hornworts, together with mosses and

How Plants Conquered Land [PDF]
Cell, 2020 Approximately 500 Ma ago, freshwater algae adapted to live on Earth's surface, subsequently enabling animal life to pursue. Over the last decade, genomes of non-seed plants enabled us to infer trait evolution of early land plants. In this issue of Cell, Jiao et al.

Photosynthetica, 2019 Ziziphus spina-christi (L.) Willd., known as Christ's thorn jujube, is a multipurpose species of the Rhamnaceae family. Seedlings were subjected to various NaCl concentrations (0 to 200 mM) for 21 d.

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B: Biological Sciences, 2000 Biochemical studies have complemented ultrastructural and, subsequently, molecular genetic evidence consistent with the Charophyceae being the closest extant algal relatives of the embryophytes. Among the genes used in such molecular phylogenetic studies is that (rbcL) for the large subunit of ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase–oxygenase (RUBISCO).

Telomerase RNAs in land plants [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2019 Abstract To elucidate the molecular nature of evolutionary changes of telomeres in the plant order Asparagales, we aimed to characterize telomerase RNA subunits (TRs) in these plants. The unusually long telomere repeat unit in Allium plants (12 nt) allowed us to identify TRs in transcriptomic data of representative species of the Allium ...

Geophysical Research Letters, 2023 A Silurian shift in fluvial stratigraphic architecture, coincident with the appearance of terrestrial vegetation in the fossil record, is traditionally cited as evidence for exclusively shallow, braided planforms in pre‐vegetation rivers.

Putative Late Ordovician land plants [PDF]
New Phytologist, 2018 The colonization of early terrestrial ecosystems by embryophytes (i.e. land plants) irreversibly changed global biogeochemical cycles (Berner & Kothavala, 2001; Berner et al., 2007; Song et al., 2012). However, when and how the process of plant terrestrialization took place is still intensely debated (Kenrick & Crane, 1997; Kenrick et al., 2012 ...

Evolution of the Land Plant Exocyst Complexes
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2012 Exocyst is an evolutionarily conserved vesicle tethering complex functioning especially in the last stage of exocytosis. Homologs of its eight canonical subunits – Sec3, Sec5, Sec6, Sec8, Sec10, Sec15, Exo70, and Exo84 – were found also in higher plants ...
