Multi-omic profiling of unicellular Mesotaenium and filamentous Zygnema under osmotic and salt stress reveals a conserved protein and cell-wall remodeling chassis driving acclimation in land plants' closest algal relatives.

The paper analyzes arabinogalactan-proteins (AGPs) in two bryophyte models, finding structural differences from angiosperms and evidence of AGP evolution in land plants.

The paper generates transcriptomic data for 22 fern species to study their evolutionary genetics and cell wall composition, revealing unique gene families and divergent cell wall biochemistry.

The paper investigates plant-derived galactans as potential inhibitors of galectins-3 and -9, showing species-specific binding and their effects on pancreatic cancer cells.

The paper investigates whether seagrass arabinogalactan-proteins show convergent glycan features across families, finding environmental factors influence their structure more than phylogeny.
