Molecular cloning of RBCS genes in Selaginella and the evolution of the rbcS gene family [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2015 Rubisco small subunits (RBCS) are encoded by a nuclear rbcS multigene family in higher plants and green algae. However, owing to the lack of rbcS sequences in lycophytes, the characteristics of rbcS genes in lycophytes is unclear.

Novel Glomeromycotina–moss associations identified in California dryland biocrusts
New Phytologist, Volume 251, Issue 1, Page 151-163, July 2026.Summary Drylands, which comprise c. 45% of Earth's land area, host biological soil crusts (biocrusts): symbiotic communities of cyanobacteria, fungi, algae, lichen, and bryophytes that stabilize soil and support key ecosystem functions. Moss‐dominated biocrusts are particularly interesting due to their potential to illuminate ancient bryophyte–fungal ...

The Evolution of the KANADI Gene Family and Leaf Development in Lycophytes and Ferns
Plants, 2019 Leaves constitute the main photosynthetic plant organ and even though their importance is not debated, the origin and development of leaves still is.

New Zealand Journal of Botany, Volume 64, Issue 2, June 2026.Yakushima Island is a major biodiversity hotspot where complex environmental gradients and high endemism provide an ideal setting for studying plant evolution. In this study, we investigated the relationships among ploidy variation, morphology, and environmental factors in populations of Plagiogyria adnata, including the variety P.

Pteridophytes as ecological indicators: an overview
Hoehnea, 2019 The pteridophytes present a great but poorly explored potential as ecological indicators (EIs), shown only in some sparse studies. Therefore, to analyze this potential, we reviewed published articles, websites, or books with pteridophytes as EIs ...

A survey of the mycorrhization of Southeast Asian ferns and lycophytes
Plant biology (Stuttgart, Germany), 2010 The colonisation of land by plants may not have been possible without mycorrhizae, which supply the majority of land plants with nutrients, water and other benefits. In this sense, the mycorrhization of basal groups of land plants such as ferns and lycophytes is of particular interest, yet only about 9% of fern and lycophyte species have been sampled ...

Harnessing S. cerevisiae to advance the engineering of pentatricopeptide repeat proteins
The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 11, Page 3135-3139, June 2026.Heterologous expression systems have been instrumental in furthering our understanding of plant RNA editing proteins. In this commentary, we discuss how the establishment of yeast as a model for studying plant RNA editing by Ramanathan et al. could advance the engineering of pentatricopeptide repeat proteins, and how in return pentatricopeptide repeat ...

New Phytologist, Volume 250, Issue 6, Page 3716-3731, June 2026.Summary Stomatal closure prevents significant water losses during drought events. Yet, leaves are not perfectly hermetic and dehydration ensues through residual water losses, known as minimum conductance (gmin), which is highly relevant since it informs on the water depletion dynamics under stress.

Plant Genomics: Homoplasy Heaven in a Lycophyte Genome [PDF]
Current Biology, 2011 The recent genomic sequencing of Selaginella, a member of the lycophyte lineage of vascular plants, opens up all kinds of new opportunities to examine the patterns of evolutionary innovation and the creation of the basic bauplan of plants.

The Plant Journal, Volume 126, Issue 5, June 2026.SUMMARY RNA editing is a post‐transcriptional pyrimidine exchange process that alters plastid and mitochondrial transcripts in nearly all land plants. Although confined to organelles, it is directed by nuclear‐encoded PLS‐type pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) proteins, each typically recognizing a specific RNA target.
