(Elsevier, 2015-07-29)
The Rotokawa Geothermal Field of New Zealand has seen significant development over the last 20 years and has been the study site for new and innovative geological and geothermal research. This includes the one of the first ...
Beyond the green: understanding the evolutionary puzzle of plant and algal cell walls
(American Society of Plant Biologists, 2010-04-26)
Niklas (2000) defined plants as “photosynthetic eukaryotes,” thereby including brown, red, and green macroalgae and microalgae. These groups share several features, including the presence of a complex, dynamic, and ...
Cell wall evolution and diversity
(Frontiers Media, 2012-07-06)
Plant cell walls display a considerable degree of diversity in their compositions and molecular architectures. In some cases the functional significance of a particular cell wall type appears to be easy to discern: secondary ...
Charophytes: evolutionary giants and emerging model organisms
(Frontiers Media, 2016-10-10)
Charophytes are the group of green algae whose ancestral lineage gave rise to land plants in what resulted in a profoundly transformative event in the natural history of the planet. Extant charophytes exhibit many features ...
Ceratopteris richardii (C-Fern): a model for investigating adaptive modification of vascular plant cell walls
(Frontiers Media, 2013-09-23)
Plant cell walls are essential for most aspects of plant growth, development, and survival, including cell division, expansive cell growth, cell-cell communication, biomechanical properties, and stress responses. Therefore, ...
