    • Beyond the green: understanding the evolutionary puzzle of plant and algal cell walls 

      Popper, Zoë A.; Tuohy, Maria G. (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 

      Fangel, Jonatan U.; Ulvskov, Peter; Knox, J. P.; Mikkelsen, Maria Dalgaard; Harholt, Jesper; Popper, Zoë A.; Willats, William G. T. (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 ...

    • Ceratopteris richardii (C-Fern): a model for investigating adaptive modification of vascular plant cell walls 

      Leroux, Olivier; Eeckhout, Sharon; Viane, Ronald L. L.; Popper, Zoë A. (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, ...

    • Charophytes: evolutionary giants and emerging model organisms 

      Domozych, David S.; Popper, Zoë A.; Sørensen, Iben (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 ...
