The property of 109 CD4+ T cell clones (TCC) to induce IgE synthesis in vitro human B cells was compared with their ability produce IL-2, IL-4, and IFN-gamma supernatants (SUP) after 24-h stimulation PHA. A significant positive correlation found between the TCC or enhance spontaneous release IL-4. In contrast, there an inverse relationship helper activity IFN-gamma, whereas no statistical IL-2 observed. PHA-SUP from 71 also investigated. Twenty-nine SUP (all derived active on synthesis)...

Ferns are the closest sister group to all seed plants, yet little is known about their genomes other than that they generally colossal. Here, we report on of Azolla filiculoides and Salvinia cucullata (Salviniales) present evidence for episodic whole-genome duplication in ferns-one at base 'core leptosporangiates' one specific Azolla. One fern-specific gene identified, recently shown confer high insect resistance, seems have been derived from bacteria through horizontal transfer. coexists a...

Abstract Hornworts comprise a bryophyte lineage that diverged from other extant land plants >400 million years ago and bears unique biological features, including distinct sporophyte architecture, cyanobacterial symbiosis pyrenoid-based carbon-concentrating mechanism (CCM). Here, we provide three high-quality genomes of Anthoceros hornworts. Phylogenomic analyses place hornworts as sister clade to liverworts plus mosses with high support. The lack repeat-dense centromeres well...
Progress in genome sequencing now enables the large-scale generation of reference genomes. Various international initiatives aim to generate genomes representing global biodiversity. These provide unique insights into genomic diversity and architecture, thereby enabling comprehensive analyses population functional genomics, are expected revolutionize conservation genomics.
Significance The evolution of land plants from algae is an age-old question in biology. entire terrestrial flora stems a grade algae, the streptophyte algae. Recent phylogenomic studies have pinpointed Zygnematophyceae as modern-day algal lineage that most closely related to plant ancestor. Here, we provide insight into biology this ancestor might aided its conquest land. Specifically, uncover existence stress-signaling pathways and potential for intimate plastid-nucleus communication....
Abstract Embryophytes (land plants) can be found in almost any habitat on the Earth’s surface. All of this ecologically diverse embryophytic flora arose from algae through a singular evolutionary event. Traits that were, by their nature, indispensable for conquest land plants were those are key overcoming terrestrial stressors. Not surprisingly, biology plant cells is shaped core signaling network connects environmental cues, such as stressors, to appropriate responses—which, thus, modulate...
Plant terrestrialization brought forth the land plants (embryophytes). Embryophytes account for most of biomass on and evolved from streptophyte algae in a singular event. Recent advances have unravelled first full genomes closest algal relatives plants; among such species was Mesotaenium endlicherianum. Here we used fine-combed RNA sequencing tandem with photophysiological assessment exposed to continuous range temperature light cues. Our data establish grid 42 different conditions,...
Abstract Zygnematophyceae are the algal sisters of land plants. Here we sequenced four genomes filamentous Zygnematophyceae, including chromosome-scale assemblies for three strains Zygnema circumcarinatum . We inferred traits in ancestor and plants that might have ushered conquest by plants: expanded genes signaling cascades, environmental response, multicellular growth. share all major enzymes cell wall synthesis remodifications, gene gains shaped this toolkit. Co-expression network...

The origin of land plants from algae is a long-standing question in evolutionary biology. It becoming increasingly clear that many characters were once assumed to be 'embryophyte specific' can fact found their closest algal relatives, the streptophyte algae. One such case phenylpropanoid pathway. While biochemical data indicate harbor lignin-like components, core pathway, which serves as backbone lignin biosynthesis, has been proposed have arisen at base plants. Here we revisit this...
