Emerging roles of β-glucanases in plant development and adaptative responses
Plant β-glucanases are enzymes involved in the synthesis, remodelling and turnover of cell
wall components during multiple physiological processes. Based on the type of the …

Plant cell-surface GIPC sphingolipids sense salt to trigger Ca2+ influx
Salinity is detrimental to plant growth, crop production and food security worldwide. Excess
salt triggers increases in cytosolic Ca2+ concentration, which activate Ca2+-binding proteins …

The Chara genome: secondary complexity and implications for plant terrestrialization
Land plants evolved from charophytic algae, among which Charophyceae possess the most
complex body plans. We present the genome of Chara braunii; comparison of the genome to …
