Biomarker identification of isolated compartments of the cell wall, cytoplasm and vacuole from the internodal cell of characean Nitellopsis obtusa [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Cells of characean algae are attractive for plant cell physiologists because of their large size and their close relation to higher plant cells. The objective of our study was to evaluate the purity of the compartments (cell wall, cytoplasm with plastids,

Modeling the Action Potential in Characeae Nitellopsis obtusa: Effect of Saline Stress [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019 Action potentials (AP) of characean cells were the first electrical transients identified in plants. APs provide information about plethora of environmental cues. Salinity stress is critical for plants and impacts on excitability.

Search for evolutionary roots of land plant arabinogalactan-proteins in charophytes: presence of a rhamnogalactan-protein in Spirogyra pratensis (Zygnematophyceae). [PDF]
Plant J, 2022 Significance Statement Approximately 500 million years ago, land plants evolved in the streptophyte lineage, which required severe changes in cell wall composition, as well as with regard to arabinogalactan‐proteins (AGPs), which are signaling glycoproteins in all land plants.

Applying early warning indicators to predict critical transitions in a lake undergoing multiple changes. [PDF]
Ecol Appl, 2022 Abstract Lakes are dynamic ecosystems that can transition among stable states. Since ecosystem‐scale transitions can be detrimental and difficult to reverse, being able to predict impending critical transitions in state variables has become a major area of research.

A multifaceted ecological assessment reveals the invasion of the freshwater red macroalga Montagnia macrospora (Batrachospermales, Rhodophyta) in Taiwan. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 Studies of freshwater red algae that combine several aspects of freshwater macroalgae biology and invasion biology, such as ours, are rare. Our study fills an important knowledge gap that will aid in the conservation planning and management of invasive freshwater red macroalgae that are overlooked or are yet to be discovered.

A within-lake occupancy model for starry stonewort, Nitellopsis obtusa, to support early detection and monitoring [PDF]
Scientific ReportsTo efficiently detect aquatic invasive species early in an invasion when control may still be possible, predictions about which locations are likeliest to be occupied are needed at fine scales but are rarely available.
