Insights into the conservation and diversification of the molecular functions of YTHDF proteins. by Daniel Flores-Téllez, Mathias Due Tankmar, Sören von Bülow, Junyu Chen, Kresten Lindorff-Larsen, Peter Brodersen, Laura Arribas-Hernández

“…We show that stimulation of primordial cell division relies on an ancestral molecular function of the m6A-YTHDF axis in land plants that is present in bryophytes and is conserved over YTHDF diversification, as it appears in all major clades of YTHDF proteins in flowering plants. …”

Moose effects on soil temperatures, tree canopies, and understory vegetation: a path analysis by Anders Lorentzen Kolstad, Gunnar Austrheim, Bente J. Graae, Erling J. Solberg, G. Richard Strimbeck, James D. M. Speed

“…Moose exclusion directly increased herb biomass and shifted understory species composition toward less shrub‐dominated communities, resulting in increased species densities of vascular plants and bryophytes. Our results indicate that in early‐successional boreal forests, direct effects of large herbivores on plant communities are clearly visible, and indirect effects are detectable but much weaker.…”

Impact of Legislated and Best Available Emission Control Measures on UK Particulate Matter Pollution, Premature Mortality, and Nitrogen‐Sensitive Habitats by Eloise A. Marais, Jamie M. Kelly, Karn Vohra, Yifan Li, Gongda Lu, Naila Hina, Ed C. Rowe

“…We estimate that present‐day annual adult premature mortality attributable to exposure to PM2.5 is 48,625 (95% confidence interval: 45,188–52,595), that harmful amounts of reactive nitrogen deposit to almost all (95%) sensitive habitat areas, and that 75% of ambient NH3 exceeds levels safe for bryophytes and lichens. Legal measures decrease the extent of the UK above the WHO guideline to 58% and avoid 6,800 premature deaths by 2030. …”

Genomic and expression analysis of glycosyl hydrolase family 35 genes from rice (<it>Oryza sativa </it>L.) by Maneesan Janjira, Chantarangsee Mallika, Tanthanuch Waraporn, Ketudat-Cairns James

“…The presence of both classes of Bgals in bryophytes, as well as vascular plants, suggests both gene lineages were present early in plant evolution. …”

Uncovering the role of RNA-binding proteins in plant immunity by Bach Pages, M

“…By comparing the RBPomes discovered in these different species we have determined the ‘core plant RBPome’, which is composed by RBPs conserved from bryophytes to angiosperms. Using ptRIC we discovered that the Arabidopsis RBPome is extensively reconfigured during plant immune responses. …”

The microRNA FEW RHIZOIDS1 controls rhizoid patterning in the liverwort Marchantia polymorpha by Thamm, A

“…ROOT HAIR DEFECTIVE 6-LIKE (RSL) class I basic Helix-Loop-Helix transcription factors (TFs) positively regulate rhizoid development in bryophytes and root hair development in angiosperms, thus being conserved positive regulators of tip-growing cells with a rooting function in land plants. …”

Detection of a bibenzyl core scaffold in 28 common mangrove and associate species of the Indian Sundarbans: potential signature molecule for mangrove salinity stress acclimation by Bhanumati Sarkar, Hemendra Nath Kotal, Chayan Kumar Giri, Anup Mandal, Nandagopal Hudait, Nithar Ranjan Madhu, Subhajit Saha, Sandip Kumar Basak, Jhimli Sengupta, Krishna Ray

“…To date, bibenzyl derivatives in the Plant kingdom have been primarily identified in bryophytes, orchids, and Cannabis sativa. The metabolic cost investment by plant species for the synthesis of these bioactive secondary metabolites is rationalized as a mechanism of plant defense in response to oxidative stress induced by biotic/abiotic factors. …”
