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.

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.

The paper studies stress response kinetics in early land plants and their algal relatives using multi-omics data to infer ancient gene regulatory networks.
