Distribution, morphological variability, ecology and the present state of Nitella from Lake Ohrid and its surroundings [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2012 Our research into 52 profiles of the littoral zone of the Macedonian part of Lake Ohrid and numerous samples taken from its surroundings has resulted in a detailed picture of the composition of the Charophyta vegetation in the lake. The results of the

Sphaerochara canadensis (Charophyceae): A circumpolar species with a high temperature optimum. [PDF]
J PhycolAbstract Sphaerochara canadensis, an aquatic macrophyte belonging to the Characeae, is described as a species with a circumpolar distribution and occurs in the polar (to boreal) zonobiomes, suggesting that it is cold‐stenothermic. A recent report of an occurrence in Lake Wolfgangsee, Austria, contradicted this assumption, prompting this study to ...

A Contribution to a Better Understanding of the Nitella axillaris Group (Charales, Charophyceae): A Taxonomic Re-Examination of the Nitella translucens Collected in the Province of Ferrara, Italy [PDF]
PlantsThe identification of a charophyte population found in a rice field in Ferrara, North Italy, collected in 1999 and initially identified as Nitella translucens, has been reevaluated.

Integrative Taxonomic, Ecological and Genotyping Study of Charophyte Populations from the Egyptian Western-Desert Oases and Sinai Peninsula [PDF]
Plants, 2021 Present-day information available on the charophyte macroalgae in Egypt, including their phylogenetic affinities, remains largely incomplete. In this study, nine charophyte populations were collected from different aquatic biotopes across the Egyptian ...

Tracing Aquatic Macrophyte Development in Nansi Lake, Northern China's Largest Freshwater Lake: Plant Macrofossils From 1855 to Present. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis 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

Optimized Laboratory Maintenance and Functional Testing of Chara braunii. [PDF]
Curr ProtocAbstract Chara braunii is an emerging model species for studying plant evolution and development. Various members of the Chara genus have been used for pioneering studies of electrophysiology, cytoplasmic streaming, and cell biology. However, many studies have been limited by challenges, such as overgrowth with epiphytes or non‐continuous growth ...

The role of indole-3-acetic acid and characterization of PIN transporters in complex streptophyte alga Chara braunii. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Auxin, indole‐3‐acetic acid (IAA), is a key phytohormone with diverse morphogenic roles in land plants, but its function and transport mechanisms in algae remain poorly understood. We therefore aimed to explore the role of IAA in a complex, streptophyte algae Chara braunii. Here, we described novel responses of C.

A new charophyte habitat with a stabilized good ecological potential of mine water [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Each newly-created pond which is supplied with mine water gives the opportunity to study a unique ecosystem in context of possible conditions for biotic live. Therefore, this research aimed to assess a phytoplankton-based ecological potential against the

Evidence for a CO<sub>2</sub>-concentrating mechanism in the model streptophyte green alga Chara braunii. [PDF]
New PhytolSummary Oxygenic photosynthesis in streptophytic algae, such as Charophyceae, is often impeded by low CO2 levels in aquatic habitats. Consequently, many algal groups evolved a CO2‐concentrating mechanism (CCM). However, its presence in Charophyceae remains controversial.
