Great article in Nature Genetics:
Bryophytes hold a larger gene family space than vascular plants
A comprehensive super-pangenome analysis reveals that bryophytes possess a substantially greater diversity of gene families than vascular plants.

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.

📢 To all molecular mossers 📢

The Moss Workshop will be held in (not always as sunny as this) Oxford next year (30th June until 2nd July 2026). More details will follow soon, but in the meantime please make a note of the dates 😃 👍

Additive effects of multiple photoprotective mechanisms drive efficient photosynthesis under variable light conditions
To cope with changing external conditions, plants undergo dynamic acclimation processes that remodel their photosynthetic machinery, optimizing energy use while minimizing damage to photosystems (PS)....

Excited to share this work from our lab @IBPC and collaborators! Thanks to diatoms, some of the mysteries surrounding phytochrome photoreceptors in the oceans are beginning to be unraveled! Phytochrome remains the "pigment of imagination’
Congratulations to all the authors!

This great article by @annameldolesi.bsky.social is a promising example of how #NewGenomicTechniques could help protect vines and reduce the impacts of fungicides in #SoilHealth.

Our #H2020 project uses similar genetic tools to boost #photosynthesis in sunflower. 🌻
