Article Abstract
The Zygnematophyceae is the sister clade to the land plants, but their biology remains mysterious. In a new study, a resolved phylogeny and a scenario for the evolution of multicellularity in that clade are proposed.

The origin and phylogenetic distribution of symbiotic associations between nodulating angiosperms and nitrogen-fixing bacteria have long intrigued biologists. Recent comparative evolutionary analyses have yielded alternative hypotheses: a multistep pathway of independent gains and losses of root nodule symbiosis vs. a single gain followed by numerous losses.

Fungal endophytes and epiphytes associated with plant leaves can play important ecological roles through the production of specialized metabolites encoded by biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs). However, their functional capacity, especially in crops like lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.), remains poorly understood.

Trichoderma species exhibit remarkable versatility in adaptability and in occupying habitats with lifestyles ranging from mycoparasitism and saprotrophy to endophytism. In this study, we present the first high-quality whole-genome assembly and annotation of T. lixii using Illumina HiSeq technology to explore the mechanisms of endophytic lifestyle and plant colonization.

Covering upto 2025Rotenoids are angular hybrid isoflavonoids mainly characterized by an additional six-membered ring between the B and C rings of flavonoids. The extra ring introduces further chemical diversity to the densely substituted precursors, isoflavonoids, making rotenoids a significant group of compounds within the plant kingdom.

Understanding the spatial distribution pattern of desert plant diversity and its environmental response mechanism is particularly important for the protection of regional biodiversity, and combining phylogenetic information can provide more in-depth insights. To this end, this study conducted a survey of desert plant communities along the southeast to northwest direction of the Hexi Corridor, revealing the variation patterns of species and phylogenetic diversity (PD) indicators along longitude, latitude, and altitude, and explored the driving factors of these patterns in combination with geographical, climatic, and soil factors.
