Whether flavonoids play significant antioxidant roles in plants challenged by photooxidative
stress of different origin has been largely debated over the last few decades. A critical review …

The monophyletic group of embryophytes (land plants) stands out among photosynthetic
eukaryotes: they are the sole constituents of the macroscopic flora on land. In their entirety …

Zygnematophyceae are the algal sisters of land plants. Here we sequenced four genomes of
filamentous Zygnematophyceae, including chromosome-scale assemblies for three strains …

Plant terrestrialization brought forth the land plants (embryophytes). Embryophytes account
for most of the biomass on land and evolved from streptophyte algae in a singular event …

How horizontal gene transfer (HGT) has contributed to the evolution of animals and plants
remains a major puzzle. Despite recent progress, defining the overall scale and pattern of …

The evolution of streptophytes had a profound impact on life on Earth. They brought forth
those photosynthetic eukaryotes that today dominate the macroscopic flora: the land plants …

The earliest land plants faced a significant challenge in adapting to environmental stressors.
Stress on land is unique in its dynamics, entailing swift and drastic changes in light and …

Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic prokaryotes that inhabit diverse aquatic and terrestrial
environments. However, the evolutionary mechanisms involved in the cyanobacterial habitat …

Land plants constantly respond to fluctuations in their environment. Part of their response is
the production of a diverse repertoire of specialized metabolites. One of the foremost …

Different plant species employ different jasmonates to activate a conserved signalling
pathway in land plants, where (+)‐7‐iso‐JA‐Ile (JA‐Ile) is the ligand for the COI1/JAZ …
