Conserved Environmental Programs of Streptophyte Cells
A single monophylum accounts for our entire macroflora: the embryophytes, thus referred to as land plants. Emerging from streptophyte algae, the embryophyte lineage successfully established itself and massively radiated on land. What allowed for this singular success story? One of the features strictly required and particularly prominent in land plants is the ability to adjust their growth and physiology according to environmental cues specifically encountered in terrestrial habitats. Land plant physiology is plastic. This plasticity hinges on a flow of information from sensing cues to adjusting internal programs. Here, my team and I will study the evolution of this flow of information to…
