A plasma membrane Ca2+-dependent protein kinase PtCDPK2 promotes phosphorus starvation resilience in Phaeodactylum tricornutum

This study identifies PtCDPK2 as a key protein kinase involved in phosphorus starvation resilience in diatoms by regulating cellular responses to phosphorus availability.

Abiotic stress-induced chloroplast and cytosolic Ca2+ dynamics in the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

This study investigates compartment-specific Ca2+ dynamics in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii under abiotic stress, revealing distinct responses in chloroplasts and cytosol.

Evolutionary genomics of the emergence of brown algae as key components of coastal ecosystems

This study analyzes 60 brown algal genomes to identify genomic innovations and evolutionary patterns that enabled their adaptation to coastal ecosystems.

Chytrid rhizoid morphogenesis is adaptive and resembles hyphal development in ‘higher’ fungi

This study shows that rhizoid development in the chytrid Rhizoclosmatium globosum shares features with dikaryan hyphal growth and is adaptive to resource availability.
