The paper identifies convergent evolution of a plant supergene through multiple genomic architectures, showing the same gene is duplicated and co-opted independently in different species.

This study investigates the subcellular localization of key molecular components in the hornwort Anthoceros agrestis to understand its carbon concentrating mechanism (CCM) and compare it to Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.

This study shows submersion and hyperoxia induce pyrenoid formation and carbon concentration mechanisms in hornworts, with species-specific gene expression and structural changes.

The paper investigates genome dynamics in mosses using chromosome-scale assemblies, finding extensive synteny alongside dynamic gene space driven by de novo gene birth and loss.

The study presents a chromosome-scale genome of Primula edelbergii, revealing that the S-locus supergene can jump between chromosomes and remains functionally stable despite reshuffling.

The paper examines the transcriptional response to nitrogen starvation in hornworts and liverworts, finding little evidence for specific priming to cyanobacteria and suggesting attraction of the cyanobiont is key for symbiosis.
