This study identifies a single genetic innovation, p-GPATs, as critical for the evolution of the plant cuticle and Arbuscular Mycorrhizal symbiosis during terrestrialization.

The paper identifies EPP1 as a fourth gene in the ancestral common symbiosis pathway, essential for plant-microbe interactions across multiple plant clades.

This paper presents the first chromosome-level genome assembly of a non-nodulating legume, Nissolia brasiliensis, and identifies genes associated with root nodule symbiosis.

The paper identifies an ancestral gene network involved in intracellular symbiosis in plants, showing its conservation and convergent recruitment across different symbiotic systems.

This study shows that the common symbiotic pathway genes are essential for arbuscular mycorrhizal symbiosis in bryophytes, indicating conservation of this pathway for 450 million years.
