This review focuses on the evolution of plant hormone signaling pathways. Like the
chemical nature of the hormones themselves, the signaling pathways are diverse. Therefore …

Since the discovery two decades ago that transgenes are efficiently integrated into the
genome of Physcomitrella patens by homologous recombination, this moss has been a …

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 …

Hornworts comprise a bryophyte lineage that diverged from other extant land plants> 400
million years ago and bears unique biological features, including a distinct sporophyte …

Hornworts, liverworts and mosses are three early diverging clades of land plants, and
together comprise the bryophytes. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of the …

To date, little is known about the evolution of fern genomes, with only two small genomes
published from the heterosporous Salviniales. Here we assembled the genome of Alsophila …

The evolution of streptophytes had a profound impact on life on Earth. They brought forth
those photosynthetic eukaryotes that today dominate the macroscopic flora: the land plants …

The liverwort Marchantia polymorpha has been utilized as a model for biological studies
since the 18th century. In the past few decades, there has been a Renaissance in its …

The high temperature, acidity, and heavy metal-rich environments associated with hot
springs have a major impact on biological processes in resident cells. One group of …

Because of their high level of diversity and complex evolutionary histories, most studies on
plant receptor-like kinase subfamilies have focused on their kinase domains. With the large …
