The success of plants on land has been enabled by mutualistic intracellular associations with microbes for 450 million years ([Delaux and Schornack 2021][1]). Because of their intracellular nature, th...

Plants interact with a plethora of organisms in the rhizosphere, with outcomes that range from detrimental to beneficial. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbiosis is the most ubiquitous beneficial plant ...

Combining fossil-based and molecular calibrations with data on horizontal gene transfer events, the authors develop a time-calibrated phylogeny of Fungi. This timescale, which integrates analytic uncertainties, suggests an older age of crown Fungi (1,401–896 million years ago), as well as a minimum age for ancient interactions involving fungi and the algal ancestors of embryophytes in terrestrial ecosystems (1,253–797 Ma).

Abstract. The liverwort Marchantia polymorpha is a widely used model organism for studying land plant biology, which has also proven to be a promising test

A super-pangenome analysis incorporating 123 newly sequenced bryophyte genomes reveals that bryophytes exhibit a larger number of unique and lineage-specific gene families than vascular plants.

A key feature of extant conifer forests is the high percentage of seeds that germinate and establish on dead wood; in some forests, this can exceed 90%. This deadwood can act as an ideal nursery for...

Leading a lab means marching like a village chief while quietly watching for budget meteors and attacks by Reviewer #3. Here is a playbook…

Our latest paper ( published online in Plant Cell, shows that Gibberellins are involved in long-distance signalling of phytochrome-sensed light signals all the way in to the roots that are not light-exposed but still respond to light quality changes. We think that not only the precursor GA12, but also bioactive GA4 is shoot-to-root mobile. The work was led by former postdoc…
