Abstract Land plant chloroplasts evolved from those found in the green algae. During land evolution, nuclear regulatory mechanisms have been modified to produce morphologically and functionally diverse distinct developmental contexts. At least some of these independently different lineages. In angiosperms, GOLDEN2-LIKE (GLK) transcription factors regulate development at three chloroplast types. To determine whether GLK-mediated regulation within angiosperms or is a plesiomorphy plants, gene...
Colonization of the land by multicellular green plants was a fundamental step in evolution life on earth. Land evolved from fresh-water aquatic algae, and transition to terrestrial environment required acquisition developmental plasticity appropriate conditions water availability, ranging drought flood. Here we show that extant bryophytes exhibit submergence-induced plasticity, suggesting submergence responses relatively early plants. We also major component bryophyte response is controlled...
Land plants have evolved adaptive regulatory mechanisms enabling the survival of environmental stresses associated with terrestrial life. Here, we focus on evolution CONSTITUTIVE TRIPLE RESPONSE1 (CTR1) component ethylene signaling pathway that modulates stress-related changes in plant growth and development. First, compare CTR1-like proteins from a bryophyte, Physcomitrella patens (representative early divergent land plants), those more recently diverged lycophyte angiosperm species...
* The development of photosynthetic competence is a key requirement for all land plants and many aquatic algae. Previous work has demonstrated that pair Golden2-like (GLK) transcription factors regulates chloroplast in diverse plants, recessive glk1;glk2 mutants are pale green fail to accumulate components the light-harvesting machinery. To determine extent which GLK pathway diverged we compared gene function flowering plant Arabidopsis thaliana moss Physcomitrella patens. Cross-species...
