What was the nature of the earliest land plant? From that ancestor, how have we arrived at the diversity of plants we see today? These remain two of the largest questions in plant evolutionary biology, relating not just to the evolution of plants themselves but also to the formation of the terrestrial biosphere. The origin of plants from an algal ancestor involved a suite of innovations that facilitated the process of terrestrialisation and characterised most plants today (Donoghue et al., 2021).

AbstractThe Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) pathway is a conserved signaling pathway required for embryonic development. Activated FGF receptor 1 (FGFR1) drives multiple intracellular signaling cascade pathways, including ERK/MAPK and PI3K/AKT, collectively termed canonical signaling.

AbstractPolyploidy or whole-genome duplication (WGD) is a major event that drastically reshapes genome architecture and is often assumed to be causally associated with organismal innovations and radiations. The 2R hypothesis suggests that two WGD events (1R and 2R) occurred during early vertebrate evolution.

The continuously increase of the atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration have triggered global warming and climate change, and carbon neutrality is one of the most important target for human society. CO2 capture and conversion have become hot areas of research and development aimed at mitigating climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Advanced materials and processes play a crucial role in these efforts.
