Presence of vitamin B12 metabolism in the last common ancestor of land plants

The paper identifies B12 metabolism in the last common ancestor of land plants through phylogenetic analysis of genes across plant and algal genomes.

Divergent and diversified proteome content across a serially acquired plastid lineage

The paper analyzes plastid proteomes across seven kareniacean dinoflagellates to understand the evolutionary origins and functional contributions of haptophyte-derived plastid proteins.

Complementary environmental analysis and functional characterization of a plastid diatom lower glycolytic-gluconeogenesis pathway

The paper characterizes a plastid glycolytic-gluconeogenesis pathway in diatoms, showing its functional roles and environmental regulation.

Dynamic Cell Imaging: application to the diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum under environmental stresses

This paper introduces Dynamic Cell Imaging (DCI) to study dynamic organelle movements in diatoms under environmental stress, finding lipid droplets as major active sites.

Within-Arctic horizontal gene transfer as a driver of convergent evolution in distantly related microalgae

The paper identifies horizontal gene transfer as a driver of convergent evolution in Arctic microalgae, highlighting ice-binding domain gene transfers between distantly related species.
