~12 years after we coined it EPP1 with @oswaldovaldesl.bsky.social one afternoon when we were postdoc with @jeanmichelane.bsky.social!
Congrats @melaniekrich.bsky.social @tatiana-vernie.bsky.social et al. for the hard work!
EPP1 is the fourth member of the Common Symbiosis Pathway 🍄🌱!

EPP1 is an ancestral component of the plant Common Symbiosis Pathway
The success of plants on land has been enabled by mutualistic intracellular associations with microbes for 450 million years ([Delaux and Schornack 2021][1]). Because of their intracellular nature, th...

Game changer for cell-based plant genetics: the labs of Caixia Gao & Jin-Long Qiu have developed very efficient self-replicating vectors and they just published a very nice proof-of-concept paper.

Very important paper and resource. Bryophyte genomes expanded by one order of magnitude. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Bryophytes hold a larger gene family space than vascular plants - Nature Genetics
A super-pangenome analysis incorporating 123 newly sequenced bryophyte genomes reveals that bryophytes exhibit a larger number of unique and lineage-specific gene families than vascular plants.

New Article: "Hornworts reveal a spatial model for pyrenoid-based CO2-concentrating mechanisms in land plants" rdcu.be/d5riJ
Key components in algal pyrenoid-based CO2-concentrating mechanisms are conserved in hornworts and probably serve similar functions.
