TL;DR: Analysis of molecular divergence compared with yeasts and metazoans reveals rapid rates of gene diversification in diatoms, and documents the presence of hundreds of genes from bacteria, likely to provide novel possibilities for metabolite management and for perception of environmental signals.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that AtHMA4 is localized at the plasma membrane and expressed in tissues surrounding the root vascular vessels and plays a role in metal loading in the xylem.

TL;DR: Comparisons across strains demonstrate that E. huxleyi, which has long been considered a single species, harbours extensive genome variability reflected in different metabolic repertoires, and reveals a pan genome (core genes plus genes distributed variably between strains) probably supported by an atypical complement of repetitive sequence in the genome.

TL;DR: A mutant of AtHMA3 altered in the P‐ATPase phosphorylation domain did not complement Δycf1, suggesting that metal transport rather than chelation is involved, and a role in the influx of cadmium into the vacuolar compartment is confirmed.

TL;DR: The assessment of the roles of Ca(2+) channel genes in diverse physiological, developmental and life history processes represents a major challenge for future studies.
