All land plants modulate their growth and physiology through intricate signaling cascades.
The majority of these are at least modulated—and often triggered—by phytohormones. Over …

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

The streptophyte green algal class Zygnematophyceae is the immediate sister lineage to
land plants. Their special form of sexual reproduction via conjugation might have played a …

Streptophytes are best known as the clade containing the teeming diversity of embryophytes
(land plants). 1, 2, 3, 4 Next to embryophytes are however a range of freshwater and …

The Streptophyta emerged about a billion years ago. Nowadays, this branch of the green
lineage is most famous for one of its clades, the land plants (Embryophyta). While …

Abstract The Entner–Doudoroff (ED) pathway provides an alternative to glycolysis. It
converts 6-phosphogluconate (6-PG) to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate and pyruvate in two …

Water scarcity can be considered a major stressor on land, with desiccation being its most
extreme form. Land plants have found two different solutions to this challenge: avoidance …

Land plants are celebrated as one of the three great instances of complex multicellularity,
but new phylogenomic and phenotypic analyses are revealing deep evolutionary roots of …

In land plants, gametes derive from a small number of dedicated haploid cells. 1 In
angiosperms, one central cell and one egg cell are differentiated in the embryo sac as …

Chara braunii is a model for early land plant evolution and terrestrialization. Salt stress has a
profound effect on water and ion transport activities, thereby interacting with many other …
