Cyanobacteria are the only prokaryotes to have evolved oxygenic photosynthesis,
transforming the biology and chemistry of our planet. Genomic and evolutionary studies …

Plant (archaeplastid) evolution has transformed the biosphere, but we are only now
beginning to learn how this took place through comparative genomics, phylogenetics, and …

The rate of primary productivity is a keystone variable in driving biogeochemical cycles
today and has been throughout Earth's past. 1 For example, it plays a critical role in …

The Viridiplantae comprise two main clades, the Chlorophyta (including a diverse array of
marine and freshwater green algae) and the Streptophyta (consisting of the freshwater …

CO2 fixation is commonly limited by inefficiency of the CO2-fixing enzyme Rubisco.
Eukaryotic algae concentrate and fix CO2 in phase-separated condensates called …

Chlorophytes (representing a clade within the Viridiplantae and a sister group of the
Streptophyta) probably dominated marine export bioproductivity and played a key role in …

Algal polysaccharides, harnessed for their catalytic potential, embody a compelling narrative
in sustainable chemistry. This review explores the complex domains of algal carbohydrate …

Fungi have crucial roles in modern ecosystems as decomposers and pathogens, and they
engage in various mutualistic associations with other organisms, especially plants. They …

Green macroalgae (Chlorophyta) currently represent a residual fraction (< 1%) of global
seaweed biomass production landings. In turn, red (Rhodophyta) and brown (Ochrophyta) …

Gene expression data for Archaeplastida are accumulating exponentially, with more than
300 000 RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) experiments available for hundreds of species. The …
