Signatures for conserved phenolic-based acclimation responses to UV in a unicellular algal sister of land plants

Caecilia F. Kunz, Deborah O. Schopp, Ilka N Abreu, Tatyana Darienko, Janine MR Fuerst-Jansen, Stefanie Koenig, Ivo Feussner, Maike Lorenz, Jan de Vries

The paper exposes zygnematophyte algae to UV irradiance and identifies conserved molecular responses, including lipid droplets and phenolic compounds, suggesting a shared UV acclimation mechanism with land plants.

Chemodiverse cell systems responses to UV in an algal sister of land plants

Cäcilia F. Kunz, Ilka Nacif Abreu, Tatyana Darienko, Janine M. R. Fürst‐Jansen, Kirstin Feussner, Ivo Feußner, Maike Lorenz, Jan de Vries

This study investigates UV-B responses in the algal relative of land plants Mesotaenium, revealing dynamic transcriptomic and metabolomic changes and a chemodiverse response toolkit.

A deep genetic structure phylogenomically frames the closest algal relatives of land plants

Maaike J. Bierenbroodspot, Cäcilia F. Kunz, Elisa S. Goldbecker, Maike Lorenz, Iker Irisarri, Thomas Pröschold, Tatyana Darienko, Jan de Vries

The paper sequences 43 new transcriptomes of Zygnematophyceae algae and builds a phylogenomic tree, revealing deep genetic structure and ancient radiations within this algal class.
