Thriving to surviving: light wavelength modulates photoacclimation response in the siphonous green alga Derbesia

This study examines how different light wavelengths affect the photoacclimation strategies of the siphonous green alga Derbesia, revealing contrasting metabolic and photosynthetic responses under various light conditions.

Extensive nuclear datasets resolve the phylogeny of siphonous green algae and identify genome duplications as a contributing factor to evolutionary adaptations

The paper presents extensive nuclear genome data for 44 Bryopsidales taxa, resolves their phylogeny, and identifies ancient gene duplications, including potential whole genome duplications, as factors in evolutionary adaptations.
