The paper investigates how starch granules form a sheath around the pyrenoid in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and identifies SBE1 as essential for circumferential growth.

The paper identifies RBMP2 as essential for forming the reticulated membrane region in the algal pyrenoid, which is critical for CO2 delivery and growth.

This study identifies the kinase KEY1 as a regulator of pyrenoid condensate size and dynamics in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, showing it disrupts phase separation interactions to control condensate dissolution during the cell cycle.

This study identifies proteins involved in pyrenoid membrane biogenesis and shows their role in CO2 delivery, with implications for engineering functional pyrenoids in crops.

The paper identifies SHORTROOT and CIF2 as sufficient to induce and stabilize an endodermis-like state in Arabidopsis root sub-epidermal cells through non-cell-autonomous signaling.
