Phenylpropanoid metabolism is one of the most important metabolisms in plants, yielding
more than 8,000 metabolites contributing to plant development and plant–environment …

Biodiversity today has the unusual property that 85% of plant and animal species live on
land rather than in the sea, and half of these live in tropical rainforests. An explosive boost to …

The field of plant genome sequencing has grown rapidly in the past 20 years, leading to
increases in the quantity and quality of publicly available genomic resources. The growing …

Plant trait variation drives plant function, community composition and ecosystem processes.
However, our current understanding of trait variation disproportionately relies on …

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 …

Symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) improves plant nutrition in most land
plants, and its contribution to the colonization of land by plants has been hypothesized …

Peat depositional environments, the sites where and conditions under which peat
accumulates, significantly influence a resultant coal's physical properties, chemical …

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 …

Ferns are the closest sister group to all seed plants, yet little is known about their genomes
other than that they are generally colossal. Here, we report on the genomes of Azolla …

Water lilies belong to the angiosperm order Nymphaeales. Amborellales, Nymphaeales and
Austrobaileyales together form the so-called ANA-grade of angiosperms, which are extant …
