Plant stature and development are governed by cell proliferation and directed cell growth.
These parameters are determined largely by cell wall characteristics. Cellulose microfibrils …

The green lineage (Viridiplantae) comprises the green algae and their descendants the land
plants, and is one of the major groups of oxygenic photosynthetic eukaryotes. Current …

Visualizing genes' structure and annotated features helps biologists to investigate their
function and evolution intuitively. The Gene Structure Display Server (GSDS) has been …

Mounting evidence suggests that terrestrialization of plants started in streptophyte green
algae, favoured by their dual existence in freshwater and subaerial/terrestrial environments …

Porphyra umbilicalis (laver) belongs to an ancient group of red algae (Bangiophyceae), is
harvested for human food, and thrives in the harsh conditions of the upper intertidal zone …

Bamboo represents the only major lineage of grasses that is native to forests and is one of
the most important non-timber forest products in the world. However, no species in the …

Marine algae of the genus Nannochloropsis are promising producers of biofuel precursors
and nutraceuticals and are also harvested commercially for aquaculture feed. We have used …

Over the past two decades, research in forest tree genomics has lagged behind that of
model and agricultural systems. However, genomic research in forest trees is poised to enter …

All photosynthetic multicellular Eukaryotes, including land plants and algae, have cells that
are surrounded by a dynamic, complex, carbohydrate-rich cell wall. The cell wall exerts …

Plant cell walls are complex, dynamic cellular structures essential for plant growth,
development, physiology and adaptation. Plant Cell Walls provides an in depth and diverse …
