Pyrenoids are non-membrane bound organelles found in chloroplasts of algae and hornwort
plants that can be seen by light-microscopy. Pyrenoids are formed by liquid-liquid phase …

The importance of the eukaryotic algal CO2-concentrating mechanism (CCM) is considered
in terms of global productivity as well as molecular phylogeny and diversity. The three major …

As the oldest extant lineages of land plants, bryophytes provide a living laboratory in which
to evaluate morphological adaptations associated with early land existence. In this paper we …

Growth and productivity in important crop plants is limited by the inefficiencies of the C3
photosynthetic pathway. Introducing CO2-concentrating mechanisms (CCMs) into C3 plants …

Membraneless organelles containing the enzyme ribulose-1, 5-bisphosphate carboxylase/
oxygenase (Rubisco) are a common feature of organisms utilizing CO2 concentrating …

Revolutionary new concepts of bryophyte relationships have emerged from molecular
phylogenetic analyses conducted since the onset of the 21st century. For example …

Ribulose-1, 5-Biphosphate-carboxylase-oxygenase (RuBisCO) has a crucial role in carbon
fixation but a slow catalytic rate, a problem overcome in some plant lineages by …

Aquatic autotrophs that fix carbon using ribulose 1, 5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase
(Rubisco) frequently expend metabolic energy to pump inorganic carbon towards the …

A cladistic analysis was carried out to resolve phylogenetic pattern among bryophytes and
other land plants. The analysis used 22 taxa of land plants and 90 characters relating to …

Hornworts are a deeply diverged lineage of bryophytes that are sister to mosses and
liverworts. Hornworts have an array of unique features that can be leveraged to illuminate …
