The paper investigates the maternal-to-zygotic transition in brown algae, finding that zygotic genome activation occurs immediately after fertilization without stable parental imprinting, suggesting evolutionary flexibility in embryogenesis.

This study identifies conserved gene expression patterns across the life cycles of brown algae by comparing transcriptomes of gametophyte and sporophyte stages in multiple species.

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